Synthetic biology is employed for the study and design of engineered microbes with new and improved therapeutic functions. The main advantage of synthetic biology is the selective genetic manipulation of living organisms with desirable beneficial effects such as probiotics. Engineering technologies have contributed to the edition of metabolic processes involved in the mechanisms of action of probiotics, such as the generation of bioactive peptides. Hence, current information related to bioactive peptides, produced by different engineering probiotics, with antimicrobial, antiviral, antidiabetic, and antihypertensive activities, as well as their potential use as functional ingredients, is discussed here. Besides, the effectiveness and safety aspects of these bioactive peptides were also described. |
