Correlations between the composition of the human microbiota and health status have sparked a rapidly growing interest in the intertwined complexities associated with these commensal microbial species. Large datasets of genetic, metabolic, proteomic etc. information can be generated through metagenomic and metatranscriptomics approaches rather easily; however, to elucidate the commensal mechanisms and benefits of these fastidious organisms, novel engineering techniques must accompany those observational measurements. Firmicutes, of which lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are members, make up the largest proportion of the human microbiota, yet few species are genetically tractable.Given their inherent safety and decades of food science research for fermentation processes, lactic-acid bacteria are ideal candidates for engineering novel biochemical production strains and the creation of living therapeutics for biomedical applications. In this work, we initially demonstrate the benefits of using Lactobacillus plantarum encapsulating the enzyme L-arabinose isomerase to overcome the thermodynamic, kinetic, and stability issues associated with galactose isomerization for tagatose production. We initially demonstrated the limitations to free-enzyme catalysis; challenging the traditional improvement approach of protein engineering, and systematically overcame each hurdle using a mesophilic enzyme encapsulated by a food-safe bacterium in a batch process resulting in the highest reported bioconversion.Next, we sought to engineer L. plantarum to rapidly sequester dietary lactose and galactose as a living therapeutic to remediate the toxicity of patients diagnosed with the rare genetic disorder galactosemia. Through this development, we studied the ability of L. plantarum to surface display heterologous proteins and enhanced the species ability to transport and metabolize carbohydrates.Overall, this thesis describes leveraging the beneficial probiotic properties of lactic acid bacteria for biomedical applications and emphasizes the need further improve upon currently available genetic tools to advance future applications.
