Abstract
Histamine is an important biogenic amine known to impact a variety of patho-physiological processes ranging from allergic reactions, gut-mediated anti-inflammatory responses, and neurotransmitter activity. Histamine is found both endogenously within specialized host cells and exogenously in microbes. Exogenous histamine is produced through the decarboxylation of the amino acid L-histidine by bacterial-derived histidine decarboxylase enzymes. To investigate how widespread histamine production is across bacterial species, we examined 102,018 annotated genomes in the Integrated Microbial Genomes Database and identified 3,679 bacterial genomes (3.6 %) which possess the enzymatic machinery to generate histamine. These bacteria belonged to 10 phyla: Bacillota, Bacteroidota, Actinomycetota, Pseudomonadota, Lentisphaerota, Fusobacteriota, Armatimonadota, Cyanobacteriota, Thermodesulfobacteriota, and Verrucomicrobiota. The majority of the identified bacteria were terrestrial or aquatic in origin, although several bacteria originated in the human gut microbiota. We used liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based targeted metabolomics to confirm our genome discoveries correlated with L-histidine-to-histamine conversion in a chemically defined bacterial growth medium by a cohort of select environmental and human gut bacteria. We found that environmental microbes Vibrio harveyi, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Streptomyces griseus generated considerable levels of histamine (788 - 8,730 ng/mL). Interestingly, we found higher concentrations of histamine produced by gut-associated Fusobacterium varium, Clostridium perfringens, Limosilactobacillus reuteri and Morganella morganii (8,510--82,400 ng/mL). This work expands our knowledge of histamine production by diverse microbes.

Abstract
Histamine accumulates in fish and fish products such as tuna, mackerel, skipjack, and bonito by work microorganisms. And it causes allergy reactions like IgE-mediated ones. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are known as one of the probiotic bacteria that indicate various health functionalities for humans. And some previous studies report that LAB can adsorb and excrete various toxic molecules. Here, this chapter introduces the methods to quantify the histamine-binding ability of LAB.

Photobacterium predominate the microbial communities of muscle of European plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) caught in the Norwegian sea independent of skin and gills microbiota, fishing season, and storage conditions. Int J Food Microbiol 2023; 397:110222.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate seasonal variations (September, December and April) in the initial microbial communities of skin and gills' external mucosal tissues (EMT) and muscle of European plaice (Pleuronectes platessa). Moreover, a potential relationship between EMT and fresh muscle microbiota was examined. The microbial community succession in plaice muscle as a function of fishing season and storage conditions was also investigated. The selected seasons for the storage experiment were September and April. Investigated storage conditions were; fillets packaged in either vacuum or modified atmosphere (70 % CO2, 20 % N2, 10 % O2) and chilled/refrigerated conditions (4 °C). Whole fish stored on ice (0 °C) was selected as a commercial standard. Seasonal variations were detected in the initial microbial communities of EMT and plaice muscle. The highest microbial diversity was found in EMT and muscle of April-caught plaice, followed by December and September catch indicating the important role of environmental factors in shaping the initial EMT and muscle microbial communities. The EMT microbial communities were more diverse than fresh muscle samples. The low number of shared taxa between EMT and initial muscle microbial communities indicates that only a minor part of the muscle microbiota came from the EMT. Psychrobacter and Photobacterium were the predominant genera in the EMT microbial communities in all seasons. Photobacterium dominated the initial muscle microbial communities with a gradual seasonal reduction of its abundance from September to April. Storage time and storage conditions shaped a less diverse and distinct community compared to the fresh muscle. However, no clear separation was seen between the communities at the middle and end of storage time. Regardless of EMT microbiota, fishing season and storage conditions, Photobacterium dominated the microbial communities of stored muscle samples. The Photobacterium prevalence as the primary specific spoilage organism (SSO) could be attributed to its high relative abundance in the initial microbiota of muscle and its CO2-tolerance. The findings of this study indicate the important contribution of Photobacterium to the microbial spoilage of plaice. Thus, the development of innovative preservation techniques addressing the rapid growth of Photobacterium could contribute to the production of high-quality and shelf-stable convenient retail plaice products.

Abstract
Seafood is one of the essential sources of nutrients for the human diet. However, they can be subject to contamination and can cause foodborne illnesses, including scombroid fish poisoning caused by histamine. Many microorganisms can produce enzymes that eventually decompose endogenous histidine to histamine in postmortem fish muscles and tissues. One of these is histamine-forming bacteria (HFB), primarily found in the gills, gut, and skin of fishes. Previous studies linked a plethora of Gram-negative HFB including Morganella spp. and Photobacterium spp. to scombroid fish poisoning from many types of seafood, especially the Scombridae family. These bacteria possess the hdc gene to produce histidine decarboxylase enzyme. It was reported that Gram-negative HFB produced 6345 ppm in tuna and 1223 ppm in Spanish mackerel. Interestingly, Gram-positive HFB have been isolated in the seafood samples with lower histamine levels. It suggests that Gram-negative HFB are the major contributor to the accumulation of histamine in seafood. Several analytical methods are available to detect and identify HFB and their histamine metabolites from seafood substrates. Rapid test kits can be used in food production settings for early detection of histamine to avoid food intoxication. Furthermore, high hydrostatic pressure and irradiation treatment could prevent the proliferation of HFB and inactivate the existing histidine decarboxylase (HDC) activity. As demonstrated in different seafood model systems, the HDC activity was deactivated at a maximum high hydrostatic pressure level of 400 MPa. The complete inactivation of HFB was achieved by gamma irradiation at a dose of 4.0 kGy. Other postharvest treatments, like enzymatic degradation and electrolyzed oxidizing water, were studied as sustainable methods for bacterial growth prevention and enzyme inactivation. However, other HFB react differently to these treatment conditions, and further studies are recommended.

Abstract
The food and beverage market has become broader due to globalization and consumer claims. Under the umbrella of consumer demands, legislation, nutritional status, and sustainability, the importance of food and beverage safety must be decisive. A significant sector of food production is related to ensuring fruit and vegetable conservation and utilization through fermentation. In this respect, in this review, we critically analyzed the scientific literature regarding the presence of chemical, microbiological and physical hazards in fruit-based fermented beverages. Furthermore, the potential formation of toxic compounds during processing is also discussed. In managing the risks, biological, physical, and chemical techniques can reduce or eliminate any contaminant from fruit-based fermented beverages. Some of these techniques belong to the technological flow of obtaining the beverages (i.e., mycotoxins bound by microorganisms used in fermentation) or are explicitly applied for a specific risk reduction (i.e., mycotoxin oxidation by ozone). Providing manufacturers with information on potential hazards that could jeopardize the safety of fermented fruit-based drinks and strategies to lower or eliminate these hazards is of paramount importance.

Abstract
Like other seafood products, tuna is highly perishable and sensitive to microbial spoilage. Its consumption, whether fresh or canned, can lead to severe food poisoning due to the activity of specific microorganisms, including histamine-producing bacteria. Yet, many grey areas persist regarding their ecology, conditions of emergence, and proliferation in fish. In this study, we used 16S rRNA barcoding to investigate postmortem changes in the bacteriome of fresh and brine-frozen yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares), until late stages of decomposition (i.e. 120 h). The results revealed that despite standard refrigeration storage conditions (i.e. 4°C), a diverse and complex spoilage bacteriome developed in the gut and liver. The relative abundance of spoilage bacterial taxa increased rapidly in both organs, representing 82% of the bacterial communities in fresh yellowfin tuna, and less than 30% in brine-frozen tuna. Photobacterium was identified as one of the dominant bacterial genera, and its temporal dynamics were positively correlated with histamine concentration in both gut and liver samples, which ultimately exceeded the recommended sanitary threshold of 50 ppm in edible parts of tuna. The results from this study show that the sanitary risks associated with the consumption of this widely eaten fish are strongly influenced by postcapture storage conditions.

Abstract
Although tunas represent a significant part of the global fish economy and a major nutritional resource worldwide, their microbiome still remains poorly documented. Here, we conducted an analysis of the taxonomic composition of the bacterial communities inhabiting the gut, skin, and liver of two most consumed tropical tuna species (skipjack and yellowfin), from individuals caught in the Atlantic and Indian oceans. We hypothesized that each organ harbors a specific microbial assemblage whose composition might vary according to different biotic (sex, species) and/or abiotic (environmental) factors. Our results revealed that the composition of the tuna microbiome was totally independent of fish sex, regardless of the species and ocean considered. Instead, the main determinants of observed diversity were (i) tuna species for the gut and (ii) sampling site for the skin mucus layer and (iii) a combination of both parameters for the liver. Interestingly, 4.5% of all amplicon sequence variants (ASV) were shared by the three organs, highlighting the presence of a core-microbiota whose most abundant representatives belonged to the genera Mycoplasma, Cutibacterium, and Photobacterium. Our study also revealed the presence of a unique and diversified bacterial assemblage within the tuna liver, comprising a substantial proportion of potential histamine-producing bacteria, well known for their pathogenicity and their contribution to fish poisoning cases. These results indicate that this organ is an unexplored microbial niche whose role in the health of both the host and consumers remains to be elucidated.

Abstract
Histamine intoxications result when histamine-metabolizing enzymes are compromised or overwhelmed by dietary histamine in the human body. This can occur either due to metabolic enzyme deficiencies, such as in histamine intolerance to wines, aged cheese and other foods or from high concentrations of histamine following ingestion of decomposed fish. The presence of histamine in decomposed fish and fish products results from bacterial decarboxylation of free L-histidine following product mishandling. Consequently, histamine intoxications from mishandled fish, commonly referred to as scombrotoxin fish poisoning (SFP) or scombroid poisoning, require high levels of free L-histidine only found in certain species of pelagic fish. Differential diagnosis is required of clinicians since dietary histamine intoxications produce the same symptoms typical of release of endogenous histamine due to IgE -mediated seafood allergies or anisakiasis. Although high levels of dietary histamine are responsible for SFP, histamine has important physiological functions and tends to exert toxic effects only at doses beyond the physiological range. Endogenous histamine is essential to local immune responses, regulation of gastric acid secretion in the gut, and neurotransmission in the central nervous system. Scombrotoxins, postulated to explain histamine's augmented toxicity in scombrotoxic fish, are a milieu of histamine and other bioactives. Since time-and-temperature abuse is required to produce high levels of histamine in fish, management consists of ensuring proper handling by identifying hazards and critical control points (HACCP) and maintaining a "cold chain" from catch to consumption. Reference methods for detecting histamine have received increased attention and the European Commission has validated a popular precolumn dansylation-based HPLC method through inter-laboratory collaboration and studied method equivalence with the AOAC fluorescence method 977.13 recognized by Codex Alimentarius. Much progress has been made during the last decade in the development and validation of rapid screening methods for detecting histamine in food and especially in fish products. These include many innovative sensors and several validated commercial test kits, many of them based on a recombinant form of the enzyme histamine dehydrogenase (HD).

Abstract
The symptoms of foodborne histamine poisoning are similar to those of IgE-mediated food allergies. In this study, we investigated the histamine-binding capacity of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains as potential preventive agents against histamine poisoning. Histamine biosorption capacity was determined for 16 LAB strains. Leuconostoc mesenteroides TOKAI 51 m, Lactobacillus paracasei TOKAI 65 m, Lactobacillus plantarum TOKAI 111 m and Pediococcus pentosaceus TOKAI 759 m showed especially high biosorption rates and reached saturation within 30 min. Adsorption isotherms showed better conformance to the Freundlich model than to the Langmuir model. Analyses after heat, periodic acid and guanidine hydrochloride treatments suggested that histamine was bound to the bacterial cell surface. HPLC analysis revealed that exopolysaccharides produced by Lact. paracasei TOKAI 65 m strongly bound to histamine. In the detachment test with 1 mol l-1 HCl solution, the dissociation rate of histamine for Lact. paracasei TOKAI 65 m was <10 %. This strain is presumably a suitable candidate for use against histamine poisoning.

Abstract
Histamine or scombrotoxin fish poisoning is caused by ingestion of bacterially produced histamine in fish. Histamine-producing bacteria generally contain the histidine decarboxylase gene (hdc). However, some strains of Photobacterium phosphoreum are known to produce significant levels of histamine, although the hdc gene in these strains has not been recognized. The objective of this study was to investigate a previously unidentified mechanism of histamine production by P. phosphoreum. We identified a protein with histidine decarboxylase (HDC) activity comparable to activity of the pyridoxal-5-phosphate (PLP) dependent HDC from P. kishitanii and M. morganii. The newly identified protein (HDC2) in P. phosphoreum and P. kishitanii strains, was approximately 2× longer than the HDC protein from other Gram-negative bacteria and had 12% similarity to previously identified HDCs. In addition, the hdc2 gene cluster in P. phosphoreum was identical to the hdc gene cluster in P. kishitanii. HDC2 had optimal activity at 20-35 °C, at pH 4, and was not affected by 0-8% NaCl concentrations. Compared to the hdc gene from P. kishitanii, expression of the hdc2 gene was constitutive and not affected by pH or excess histidine. This newly identified protein explains possible mechanisms of histamine production in P. phosphoreum. Characterization of this protein will help in designing control measures to prevent or reduce histamine production in fish.

Abstract
Bioluminescence is a spectacular feature of some prokaryotes. In the present work, we address the distribution of bioluminescence among bacteria isolated from the White Sea finfishes. Luminous bacteria are widely distributed throughout the World Ocean. Many strains have been isolated and described for tropical latitudes, while Nordic seas still remain quite a white spot in studying bioluminescence of bacteria. We describe the strains related to the two main genera of luminous bacteria, Photobacterium and Aliivibrio, as well as Shewanella and Vibrio. They are related to families Vibrionaceae and Shewanellaceae of the Gammaproteobacteria class. Here, we at the first time, report the bioluminescence of the Enterobacteriaceae Kosakonia cowanii. Moreover, we applied the polyphasic approach to identify and describe the isolated microorganisms. The data on sequencing, diversity of cell fine structure, and light emission spectra at room temperature on the solid medium are discussed. The bacteria are characterized by features in their light emission spectra. It may reflect possible molecular mechanisms of bioluminescence as well as features of bacterial composition. The obtained data expands the existing body of knowledge about the bioluminescence spread among the bacteria of Nordic latitudes and provides complex information that is crucial for their precise identification.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to obtain the growth parameters of specific spoilage micro-organisms previously isolated in minced pork (MP) samples and to develop a three-spoilage species interaction model under different storage conditions. Naturally contaminated samples were used to validate this approach by considering the effect of the food microbiota. Three groups of bacteria were inoculated on irradiated samples, in mono- and in co-culture experiments (n = 1152): Brochothrix thermosphacta, Leuconostoc gelidum, and Pseudomonas spp. (Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas fragi). Samples were stored in two food packaging [food wrap and modified atmosphere packaging (CO2 30%/O2 70%)] at three isothermal conditions (4, 8, and 12°C). Analysis was carried out by using both 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and classical microbiology in order to estimate bacterial counts during the storage period. Growth parameters were obtained by fitting primary (Baranyi) and secondary (square root) models. The food packaging shows the highest impact on bacterial growth rates, which in turn have the strongest influence on the shelf life of food products. Based on these results, a three-spoilage species interaction model was developed by using the modified Jameson-effect model and the Lotka Volterra (prey-predator) model. The modified Jameson-effect model showed slightly better performances, with 40-86% out of the observed counts falling into the Acceptable Simulation Zone (ASZ). It only concerns 14-48% for the prey-predator approach. These results can be explained by the fact that the dynamics of experimental and validation datasets seems to follow a Jameson behavior. On the other hand, the Lotka Volterra model is based on complex interaction factors, which are included in highly variable intervals. More datasets are probably needed to obtained reliable factors, and so better model fittings, especially for three- or more-spoilage species interaction models. Further studies are also needed to better understand the interaction of spoilage bacteria between them and in the presence of natural microbiota.

Abstract
On-land transport/storage of fresh fishery products (FFP) for up to 3 days in 'tubs' of three-layered poly-ethylene filled with freshwater and ice was compared to the currently authorised practice (fish boxes of high-density poly-ethylene filled with ice). The impact on the survival and growth of biological hazards in fish and the histamine production in fish species associated with a high amount of histidine was assessed. In different modelling scenarios, the FFP are stored on-board in freshwater or seawater/ice (in tubs) and once on-land they are 'handled' (i.e. sorted or gutted and/or filleted) and transferred to either tubs or boxes. The temperature of the FFP was assumed to be the most influential factor affecting relevant hazards. Under reasonably foreseeable 'abusive' scenarios and using a conservative modelling approach, the growth of the relevant hazards (i.e. Listeria monocytogenes, Aeromonas spp. and non-proteolytic Clostridium botulinum), is expected to be < 0.2 log10 units higher in tubs than in boxes after 3 days when the initial temperature of the fish is 0°C ('keeping' process). Starting at 7°C ('cooling-keeping' process), the expected difference in the growth potential is higher (< 1 log10 for A. hydrophila and < 0.5 log10 for the other two hazards) due to the poorer cooling capacity of water and ice (tub) compared with ice (box). The survival of relevant hazards is not or is negligibly impacted. Histamine formation due to growth of Morganella psychrotolerans under the 'keeping' or 'cooling-keeping' process can be up to 0.4 ppm and 1.5 ppm higher, respectively, in tubs as compared to boxes after 3 days, without reaching the legal limit of 100 ppm. The water uptake associated with the storage of the FFP in tubs (which may be up to 6%) does not make a relevant contribution to the differences in microbial growth potential compared to boxes.

Abstract
Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) is an ecologically important species with a wide-spread distribution in the North Atlantic Ocean, yet little is known about the diversity of its intestinal microbiome in its natural habitat. No geographical differentiation in this microbiome was observed based on 16S rRNA amplicon analyses, yet such finding may result from an inherent lack of power of this method to resolve fine-scaled biological complexity. Here, we use metagenomic shotgun sequencing to investigate the intestinal microbiome of 19 adult Atlantic cod individuals from two coastal populations in Norway-located 470 km apart. Resolving the species community to unprecedented resolution, we identify two abundant species, Photobacterium iliopiscarium and Photobacterium kishitanii, which comprise over 50% of the classified reads. Interestingly, the intestinal P. kishitanii strains have functionally intact lux genes, and its high abundance suggests that fish intestines form an important part of its ecological niche. These observations support a hypothesis that bioluminescence plays an ecological role in the marine food web. Despite our improved taxonomical resolution, we identify no geographical differences in bacterial community structure, indicating that the intestinal microbiome of these coastal cod is colonized by a limited number of closely related bacterial species with a broad geographical distribution.

Abstract
Bacterial-bioluminescence regulation is often associated with quorum sensing. Indeed, many studies have been made on this subject and indicate that the expression of the light-emission-involved genes is density dependent. However, most of these studies have concerned two model species, Aliivibrio fischeri and Vibrio campbellii. Very few works have been done on bioluminescence regulation for the other bacterial genera. Yet, according to the large variety of habitats of luminous marine bacteria, it would not be surprising to find different light-regulation systems. In this study, we used Photobacterium phosphoreum ANT-2200, a piezophilic bioluminescent strain isolated from Mediterranean deep-sea waters (2200-m depth). To answer the question of whether or not the bioluminescence of P. phosphoreum ANT-2200 is under quorum-sensing control, we focused on the correlation between growth and light emission through physiological, genomic and, transcriptomic approaches. Unlike A. fischeri and V. campbellii, the light of P. phosphoreum ANT-2200 immediately increases from its initial level. Interestingly, the emitted light increases at much higher rate at the low cell density than it does for higher cell-density values. The expression level of the light-emission-involved genes stays constant all along the exponential growth phase. We also showed that, even when more light is produced, when the strain is cultivated at high hydrostatic pressure, no change in the transcription level of these genes can be detected. Through different experiments and approaches, our results clearly indicate that, under the tested conditions, the genes, directly involved in the bioluminescence in P. phosphoreum ANT-2200, are not controlled at a transcriptomic level. Quite obviously, these results demonstrate that the light emission of the strain is not density dependent, which means not under quorum-sensing control. Through this study, we point out that bacterial-bioluminescence regulation should not, from now on, be always linked with the quorum-sensing control.

Abstract
The present study aimed at determining the histamine production capacity of Gram (+) and Gram (-) bacteria isolated from Octopus maya, along with identifying the presence of amino acid decarboxylase genes. Of the total 80 psychrotrophic microorganisms, 32 strains were identified as histamine-forming bacteria. The recombinant DNA technique was used for genotypic identification of histidine (hdc), ornithine (odc), and lysine decarboxylases (ldc) genes. Thirty-two strains were able to produce 60⁻100 ppm in trypticase soy broth with 1.0% l-histidine after 6 h at 20 °C. NR6B showed 98% homology with Hafnia alvei. NR73 represented 18.8% of the total isolates and showed 98% homology with Enterobacter xianfengensis and Enterobacter cloacae. NR6A represented 6% of the total isolates, which were identified as Lactococcus sp. The hdc gen from NR6B showed 100% identity with hdc from Morganella morganii; ldc showed 97.7% identity with ldc from Citrobacter freundii. The Odc gene was detected only in NR73 and showed 100% identity with Enterobacter sp. All the isolated were identified as weak histamine⁻former. The ingestion of a food containing small amounts of histamine has little effect on humans; however, the formation of biogenic amines is often considered as an indicator of hygienic quality; this emphasizes the importance of improving good management practices and storage.

Abstract
Photobacterium species are members of the bacterial communities typically associated with scombrotoxin-forming fish. Reclassification and discovery of new Photobacterium species has caused confusion as to which species are capable of biogenic amine production. We analyzed histamine, cadaverine, and putrescine production by 104 Photobacterium strains representing 23 species. The presence of the genes for histidine decarboxylase ( hdc), lysine decarboxylase ( ldc), and ornithine decarboxylase ( odc) was determined by real-time or conventional PCR and whole genome sequencing. Significant histamine production (>200 ppm) was detected in five Photobacterium species: P. angustum, P. aquimaris, P. kishitanii, P. damselae, and P. phosphoreum. The hdc gene was detected in all of these histamine-producing species except P. phosphoreum. Cadaverine was produced by eight Photobacterium species: P. angustum, P. aquimaris, P. damselae, P. iliopiscarium, P. kishitanii, P. leiognathi, P. mandapamensis, and P. phosphoreum. Putrescine was produced by six Photobacterium species: P. angustum, P. aquimaris, P. kishitanii, P. leiognathi, P. mandapamensis, and Photobacterium sp. Cadaverine production correlated closely with the presence of the ldc gene, but putrescine production did not correlate closely with the presence of the odc gene. Characterization of the biogenic amine production by Photobacterium species will allow identification of these marine bacteria and help ensure that current guidelines account for mitigation of these bacteria.

Abstract
Tail fan necrosis (TFN) is a common condition found in commercially exploited spiny lobsters that greatly diminishes their commercial value. Bacteria possessing proteolytic, chitinolytic and lipolytic capabilities were associated with TFN in spiny lobsters, Jasus edwardsii. In this study, 69 bacterial isolates exhibiting all the three enzymatic capabilities from the haemolymph and tail fans of J. edwardsii with and without TFN were further characterized and compared, including morphology, biofilm formation, antimicrobial activity, antimicrobial resistance, and production of siderophores, melanin and ammonia. The genomic patterns of the most common Vibrio crassostreae isolates were also compared between TFN-affected and unaffected lobsters. Biofilm formation was stronger in bacterial isolates from both haemolymph and tail fans of TFN-affected lobsters compared to those from the unaffected lobsters, while melanin production and siderophore production were stronger in the isolates from tail fans of lobsters with TFN. By contrast, the other characteristics of isolates were similar in lobsters with and without TFN. The Vib. crassostreae isolates from the affected lobsters had similar genomic patterns. Overall, the results indicate that in addition to proteolytic, chitinolytic and lipolytic activities, the bacteria associated with TFN commonly have enhanced activity of important virulence factors, including biofilm formation, melanin production and siderophore production.

Abstract
Vibrionaceae is a large marine bacterial family, which can constitute up to 50% of the prokaryotic population in marine waters. Photobacterium is the second largest genus in the family and we used comparative genomics on 35 strains representing 16 of the 28 species described so far, to understand the genomic diversity present in the Photobacterium genus. Such understanding is important for ecophysiology studies of the genus. We used whole genome sequences to evaluate phylogenetic relationships using several analyses (16S rRNA, MLSA, fur, amino-acid usage, ANI), which allowed us to identify two misidentified strains. Genome analyses also revealed occurrence of higher and lower GC content clades, correlating with phylogenetic clusters. Pan- and core-genome analysis revealed the conservation of 25% of the genome throughout the genus, with a large and open pan-genome. The major source of genomic diversity could be traced to the smaller chromosome and plasmids. Several of the physiological traits studied in the genus did not correlate with phylogenetic data. Since horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is often suggested as a source of genetic diversity and a potential driver of genomic evolution in bacterial species, we looked into evidence of such in Photobacterium genomes. Genomic islands were the source of genomic differences between strains of the same species. Also, we found transposase genes and CRISPR arrays that suggest multiple encounters with foreign DNA. Presence of genomic exchange traits was widespread and abundant in the genus, suggesting a role in genomic evolution. The high genetic variability and indications of genetic exchange make it difficult to elucidate genome evolutionary paths and raise the awareness of the roles of foreign DNA in the genomic evolution of environmental organisms.

Abstract
Histamine-producing bacteria (HPBs) have recently been identified from the marine environment. The identification and characterization of HPBs is important to developing effective mitigation strategies for scombrotoxin fish poisoning. We report here the draft genomes of seven histamine-producing and two non-histamine-producing marine Photobacterium strains.
