The aim of this study was to monitor production of seven biogenic amines (Cadaverine -CAD, Putrescine -PUT, Spermine -SPE, Spermidine -SPD, Histamine -HIS, Tyramine -TYR and Tryptamine -TRY) in selected 24 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains. The decarboxylase activity of the microorganisms was studied in growth medium after 24 h cultivation. The ability of 24 LAB isolates cultivated in MRS broth and M17 broth supplement with 0.5% glucose to produce biogenic amines was assessed using liquid
