title: Advances in the use of Bacillus subtilis for the expression and secretion of heterologous proteins.
abstract: During the past year, significant progress has been made using Bacillus subtilis to produce a wide range of foreign proteins. Through strain improvement and co-expression of molecular chaperones, secretory proteins can be produced at a higher level. Through protein engineering, target proteins can be redesigned to have better stability and solubility. A combination of these two strategies would be a useful approach to produce heterologous proteins from B. subtilis at high quality and with a high yield.
