Abstract |
|---|
E. coli is the system of choice for recombinant protein production because it is possible to obtain high protein yield in inexpensive media. The accumulation of protein in an insoluble form in inclusion bodies remains a major disadvantage. The use of the P. aeruginosa type III secretion system can avoid this problem, allowing the production of soluble secreted proteins.
