Food Microbiology Takura Wakinaka, Jun Watanabe M. Julia Pettinari, Editor DOI: 10.1128/AEM.00208-19 ABSTRACT Tetragenococcus halophilus, a halophilic lactic acid bacterium, is often used as a starter culture in the manufacturing of soy sauce. T. halophilus possesses an arginine deiminase system, which is responsible for the accumulation of citrulline, the main precursor of the potential carcinogen ethyl carbamate.

Food Microbiology Takura Wakinaka, Jun Watanabe DOI: 10.1128/AEM.00208-19 ABSTRACT Tetragenococcus halophilus, a halophilic lactic acid bacterium, is often used as a starter culture in the manufacturing of soy sauce. T. halophilus possesses an arginine deiminase system, which is responsible for the accumulation of citrulline, the main precursor of the potential carcinogen ethyl carbamate. In this study, we generated five derivatives lacking arginine deiminase activity from T.
