description This study was performed to mine biogenic amine (BA)-degrading lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from kimchi and to investigate the effects of the LAB strains on BA reduction in <i>Baechu</i> kimchi fermentation. Among 1448 LAB strains isolated from various kimchi varieties, five strains capable of considerably degrading histamine and/or tyramine were selected through in vitro tests and identified as <i>Levilactobacillus brevis</i> PK08, <i>Lactiplantibacillus pentosus</i> PK05, <i>Leuconostoc mesenteroides</i> YM20, <i>L. plantarum</i> KD15, and <i>Latilactobacillus sakei</i> YM21. The selected strains were used to ferment five groups of <i>Baechu</i> kimchi, respectively. The LB group inoculated with <i>L. brevis</i> PK08 showed the highest reduction in tyramine content, 66.65% and 81.89%, compared to the control group and the positive control group, respectively. Other BA content was also considerably reduced, by 3.76–89.26% (five BAs) and 7.87–23.27% (four BAs), compared to the two control groups, respectively. The other inoculated groups showed similar or less BA reduction than the LB group. Meanwhile, a multicopper oxidase gene was detected in <i>L. brevis</i> PK08 when pursuing the BA degradation mechanism. Consequently, <i>L. brevis</i> PK08 could be applied to kimchi fermentation as a starter or protective culture to improve the BA-related safety of kimchi where prolific tyramine-producing LAB strains are present.
