bacetriophages infecting E. faecalis as a tool to reduce the presence of tyramine in foods
In this work we aimed the isolation and characterization of bacteriophages infecting Enterococcus faecalis, the main producer of tyramine in fermented foods. The final objective is to study the use of these bacteriophages and proteins derived from them as a biotechnological tool to control the presence of Enterococcus faecalis cells in foods and reduce the production of tyramine, one of the most toxic biogenic amines found in foodstuffs.
