Bacteria Active in the Spoilage of Certain Sea Foods

Abstract
Summary.: Spoilage of certain sea foods is caused by the activities of some groups of Gram negative bacteria. The characteristic off odours and flavours of naturally spoiling cod and haddock have been reproduced in blocks of sterile cod muscle by organisms identified as Pseudomonas putida, Ps. fragi, Ps. putrefaciens and other Pseudomonas spp.
