Aeromonas is a ubiquitous aquatic bacteria, and it is a significant factor contributing to meat spoilage during processing and consumption. The abilities of Aeromonas salmonicida 29 and 57, which exhibit spoilage heterogeneity, to secrete protease, lipase, hemolysin, gelatinase, amylase, and lecithinase were confirmed by plate method. A total of 3948 proteins were identified by ITRAQ in extracellular secretions of A. salmonicida , and 16 proteases were found to be potentially related to spoilage ability. The complete genome sequence of A. salmonicida 57 consists of one circular chromosome and three plasmids, while A. salmonicida 29 consists of one circular chromosome, without a plasmid. Transcriptomic analysis revealed a significant number of DEGs were up-regulated in A. salmonicida 29, which were mainly enriched in metabolic pathways (e.g., amino acid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism), indicating that A. salmonicida 29 had better potential to decompose and utilize nutrients in meat. Six protease genes (2 pepB , hap , pepA , ftsI , and pepD) were excavated by combined ITRAQ with transcriptome analysis, which potentially contribute to bacterial spoilage ability and exhibit universality among other dominant spoilage bacteria. This investigation provides new insights and evidence for elucidating metabolic and spoilage phenotypic differences and provides candidate genes and strategies for future prevention and control technology development. • Aeromonas salmonicida is considered a widely spread bacteria in chilled meat. • Salmonicida possesses proteases related to pathogenic and spoilage. • The genome of two strains of A. salmonicida with spoilage heterogeneity was uncovered. • Transcriptomics revealed a number of DEGs that were up-regulated in A. salmonicida 29. • Six genes that contribute to meat spoilage were excavated: 2 pepB , hap , pepA , fts I, and pepD.
