Recombinant production of omega-3 fatty acids by probioticEscherichiacoliNissle 1917

Abstract: Omega-3 fatty acids, including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), have beneficial effects on human health. The probiotic bacterium Escherichia coli Nissle is unable to produce either EPA or DHA. Escherichia coli Nissle was transformed with the pfBS-PS plasmid carrying the EPA/DHA gene cluster, previously isolated from a marine bacterium. The transgenic E. coli Nissle produced EPA when grown at 10ºC (16.52 ± 1.4 mg g(-1) cell dry weight), 15ºC (31.36 ± 0.25 mg g(-1) cell dry weight), 20… Show more

“…Omega-3 PUFAs are considered as therapeutic options which may reduce secondary neuronal damage initiated by traumatic brain injury [ 2 ]. They also have a protective role in age-related macular degeneration, and can prevent the harmful effects of chronic stress [ 3 ], and may contribute to the prevention of cognitive decline [ 4 ]. In addition, benefits for bone health and turnover have been reported [ 5 ].…”

“…Previous works have also shown different strategies for the simultaneous production of EPA and DHA: in Phaeodactylum tricornutum , a unicellular marine diatom, the heterologous coexpression of Δ6 desaturase and Δ5 elongase from Ostreococcus tauri resulted in 18% EPA and 11% DHA of TFA; in E. coli , the overexpression of the EPA/DHA pathway gene cluster from Shewanella baltica produced about 0.2–0.4% DHA and 14–31% EPA of TFA; , more recently, it has been reported that transgenic plants from Camelina sativa , a member of the Brassicacae, were able to accumulate about 4% of both DHA and EPA . However, most of these species have a low growth rate, thus generating low biomass yields.…”

“…Lactis mutant strains and Lcb. paracasei [196]. The possibility of creating E. coli Nissle 1917 probiotic strain with the ability to biosynthesize omega-3 fatty acids, particularly eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic, is being investigated as well [197].…”
