ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To produce nattokinase in a food-grade expression system and evaluate its thrombolytic activity in vitro.RESULTS:
No nattokinase activity from reconstituted strains was observed in simulated gastric juice, but the enzyme was stable in intestinal fluid, the relative activity of which was found to be 60% after 4 h. Due to the nattokinase being produced intracellularly by recombinant bacterial strains, the persistence of the bacteria in gastric juice ensured transmission of the nattokinase into intestinal juice. Because of subsequent disintegration of the bacteria, the highest nattokinase activity was observed after 3 h at approximately 32%, following its carriage within the recombinant strains to the intestinal fluid.CONCLUSIONS:
This study demonstrated that nattokinase from recombinant strains exhibited good thrombolytic activity in vitro and may be used by the dairy fermentation industry for the development of novel thrombolytic functional foods.Palabras clave
