title: Expression of foreign proteins in microorganisms.
abstract: The various alternative strategies for the expression of heterologous proteins in microorganisms are reviewed. To illustrate how these general considerations can be addressed in particular cases, the expression of chimeric human-mouse antibodies in Escherichia coli and the production of thaumatin, an intensely sweet plant protein, in yeast, are described.
