The possibility of heterologous expression of human Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase (scd1) was investigated. The scd1 encoding sequence was inserted into the pNZ8149 to generate the pNZ8149-scd1 expression plasmids. Then we introduced the pNZ8149-scd1 construct into the Lactococcus lactis NZ3900 to investigate its enzyme activity. The results show that heterologous expressed SCD1 enzyme resulted in a 92%-169% increase in the C16:1n-7 and a 53-127% increase in the C18:1n-7 (P<0.05). The SCD1 enzyme was capable of producing n-7 fatty acids in Lactococcus lactis efficiently. It also suggests that the fatty acid desaturases can be heterologous expressed in Lactococcus lactis to produce the helpful fatty acids.

A major health and financial burden in the chicken sector is salmonella infection. It is difficult to create an oral vaccination that can provide strong intestinal mucosal immunity in birds, particularly cross-protection against several Salmonella serotypes. As a result, the poultry industry needs a powerful oral vaccination platform that uses live bacterial vectors to prevent various Salmonella serotypes.

Promoters are crucial elements for controlling gene expression in cells, yet lactic acid bacteria (LAB) often lack a diverse set of available constitutive promoters with quantitative characterization. To enrich the LAB promoter library, this study focused on the known strong constitutive promoter P in LAB. Through error-prone PCR and dNTP analog-induced random mutagenesis, a library of 247 mutants of P was generated by using the red fluorescent protein (RFP) fluorescence intensity as a high-throughput screening indicator in Streptococcus thermophilus.

Introduction: Animal influenza viruses pose a danger to the general public. Eurasian avian-like H1N1 (EA H1N1) viruses have recently infected humans in several different countries and are often found in pigs in China, indicating that they have the potential to cause a pandemic. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a potent vaccine against EA H1N1.
