Is there a Google Patents record about producing or using bacteria histamine?
Yes. Google Patents commonly indexes patents that mention “histamine” in the context of bacteria, fermentation, or microbial production and processing. Whether a specific patent is “US” (United States) depends on the record itself and typically shows an application/publication number or assignee on the Google Patents page.
Because your question is broad (“bacterial histamine” plus “US production and use”), the exact answer depends on what you mean by “bacterial histamine”:
- Bacteria that naturally produce histamine (for example, via food spoilage)
- Engineered bacteria used to produce histamine (biomanufacturing)
- Using histamine produced from bacterial sources in products (food, medicine, research)
How to quickly find the right US patents on Google Patents
On Google Patents, use targeted queries that reflect how these inventions are usually described:
- “histamine” AND “microorganism”
- “histamine” AND “bacterial” AND “production”
- “histidine decarboxylase” (a common enzyme linked to histamine formation by bacteria)
- “histamine” AND “fermentation”
- “histamine” AND “starter culture” (if it’s about food processes)
Then filter:
- Jurisdiction: United States
- Status: Published application / Granted (if available)
What to check once you find a US patent result
On the record page, confirm these fields match your intent:
- “Publication type” (US published application vs granted patent)
- “Assignee” (company/university)
- “Claims” (does it describe production by bacteria, or use of histamine derived from bacteria, or prevention/control?)
- “Abstract” and “Description” keywords (enzyme, fermentation conditions, microbial strains)
Are there patents about controlling “bacterial histamine” instead of making it?
Often, histamine-related patents in bacterial contexts focus on reducing histamine formation (especially in food) rather than producing it—by targeting:
- spoilage bacteria populations,
- histidine decarboxylase activity,
- processing conditions that limit histamine accumulation.
So if you’re seeing “bacterial histamine” results, it’s important to check whether the invention aims to manufacture histamine or to suppress it.
If you share one detail, I can narrow it to the exact Google Patents US documents
Send any one of the following and I’ll pinpoint the likely US patent(s) and summarize what they claim:
- a keyword phrase you saw on Google Patents
- a patent number (e.g., US#########)
- the assignee name
- whether you mean histamine produced for a product (manufacturing) or histamine reduction in food/processing
