Abstract excerpt
Arginine deimination by Tetragenococcus halophilus, a halophilic lactic acid bacterium, is an undesirable reaction in soy sauce brewing because it is responsible for the production of ethyl carbamate, a potential carcinogen. Therefore, arginine deiminase system-deficient mutants have been generated and used as starter cultures. However, the pre-existing screening method for arginine deiminase system-deficient...
