β¦ Synopsis
Production of heterologous proteins or parts thereof in different extra-cytoplasmic compartments (in the periplasm, outer membrane or extracellularly) of Escherichia coli offers multiple applications, for example, in vaccine development, immobilised enzymes and bioremediation. Nowadays, not only surface display of short peptides, but also cell-surface anchoring or secretion of functional proteins is possible. Factors influencing folding, stability and export of extra-cytoplasmic proteins are also better understood.

Streptomycin or spectinomycin treatment of an E. coli strain, carrying the strR and spcR alleles on the chromosome and the wild-type (sensitive) alleles on the episome, selects for inactivation of the relevant sensitive allele. After Mu induced mutagenesis, in the absence of selection against extend
We have cloned a 14 kb DNA segment containing the coding sequence (polC) for DNA polymerase III (PolIII) from the Bacillus subtilis chromosome. The plasmid carrying the sequence, pRO10, directs the synthesis of the 160 kDa PolIII protein and three additional polypeptides in Escherichia coli maxicell
The defects of temperature-sensitive dnaA and dnaN mutants of Escherichia coli are complemented by a recombinant lambda phage, which carries the bacterial DNA segment composed of two EcoRI segments of 1.0 and 3.3 kilobases. Derivatives of the phage, which have an insertion segment of Tn3 in the dnaA
