- Meeting Presentation | SpotlightExploiting Prophage-Mediated Lysis for Biotherapeutic Release by Lactobacillus reuteri
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been explored as potential biotherapeutic vehicles for the past 20 years. To secrete a therapeutic in the extracellular milieu, one typically relies on the bacterial secretion pathway, i.e., the Sec pathway. Overexpression of a secreted protein can overload the secretory pathway and impact the organism’s fitness, and optimization of the signal peptide is also required to maximize the efficiency of the...
