Aim:To study the accumulation and retention of recombinant proteins inArtemiagut for optimizing paratransgenic disease control in shrimp aquaculture.Methods and Results:TransgenicEscherichia coliexpressing fluorescent marker proteins and the transgenic cyanobacteriumSynechococcus bacillarusexpressing a functional murine single chain antibody, DB3, were fed toArtemia franciscana. Stable expression and retention of several marker molecules (e.g. GFP, DS Red and DB3) up to 10 h after of feeding withE. coliwere evident within the gut ofArtemia. Engineered strains ofS. bacillarusexpressing DB3 accumulated within the gut ofArtemiawith detectable antibody activity for 8–10 h of feeding via ELISA, coincident with the time period of the highest density of transgenicS. bacillarusin theArtemiagut.Conclusions:Artemiafed transgenic bacteria or algae accumulated recombinant proteins for up to 10 h that retained biological activity. Co‐delivery of multiple recombinant proteins simultaneously in the gut ofArtemiawas also demonstrated.Significance and Impact of the Study:Expression of molecules that target infectious agents of mariculture in shrimp via commonly deployed feed organisms such asArtemiacould potentially offer powerful new tools in the ongoing global effort to increase food supply.
