What is the bacterial histamine patent on Google Patents asking for?
I can help you find the right patent, but the question is missing key details. “Bacterial histamine” could refer to several different inventions on Google Patents, for example:
- producing histamine or histamine derivatives using bacterial strains
- using bacteria (or bacterial enzymes) to generate histamine as part of a manufacturing process
- detecting, removing, or inhibiting histamine made by bacteria in food, pharma, or medical contexts
- genetically engineered bacteria designed to produce histamine or modulate histamine-related pathways
To identify the correct “production and use” patent, I need at least one of:
- the company or inventor name
- a patent number (e.g., US…, WO…, EP…)
- the exact phrase you saw on Google Patents
- the filing year or publication year
- whether it’s about food safety, fermentation, diagnostics, or therapeutics
How do I search Google Patents for “bacterial histamine production”?
If you’re doing this yourself right now, these targeted queries usually surface the relevant patents faster than generic terms:
- “histamine” AND (bacteria OR bacterial OR microbial) AND (produce OR production OR biosynthesis)
- “histidine decarboxylase” AND (bacteria OR microbial) AND histamine
- “histamine” AND “biocatalyst” AND bacterial
- “histamine” AND (fermentation OR fermentative) AND bacteria
- (your country code) + “histamine” + “microorganism” (example: US histamine microorganism)
If you paste the top 2–5 results’ titles or publication numbers here, I can tell you which one matches “production and use” and what it covers.
What “use” can mean in these patents (food vs medical vs industrial)?
On Google Patents, “use” in the context of histamine often falls into different categories. Common patterns include:
- Food and beverage: using specific bacteria (or controlling them) to manage histamine levels, because bacterial histamine is linked to food spoilage and “scombroid” type issues.
- Diagnostics: methods that detect histamine produced by bacteria.
- Bioprocessing/industrial chemistry: producing histamine (or related compounds) by fermentation or enzymatic conversion.
- Therapeutics or research tools: engineered systems to generate histamine for experiments, drug screening, or pathway studies.
The “right” patent depends on which of these meanings you meant by “use.”
Can you share the patent link or number you mean?
If you share any of the following, I’ll zero in on the exact patent and summarize:
- the Google Patents URL, or
- the publication number (US/WO/EP), or
- the inventor/assignee name, or
- the title text
Once I have that, I can extract what the patent says about (1) the bacterial strain/enzymes used, (2) the production method, (3) purification/conditions, and (4) the claimed applications.
Quick check: did you mean “histamine production” or “histamine degradation”?
A lot of Google Patents results are about preventing histamine accumulation (e.g., using bacteria/enzymes that reduce histamine in food). If your goal was the opposite (producing histamine), the search terms and likely patent set will be different.
Reply with: “production” or “degradation,” plus any identifier (company, year, or link), and I’ll take it from there.
