SYSTEMS FOR EXPRESSION OF HETEROLOGOUS PROTEINS IN M. CAPSULATUS

摘要

The present invention relates to nucleic acid molecules encoding outer membrane proteins and expression system for the expression of desired protei ns and peptides in a methanotrophic bacterium, preferable the M. capsulatus. Further, the invention relates to the exportation and display of said peptid es and proteins on the surface of said bacteria by fusion of the outer membrane protein with said peptides and proteins. The invention also describes a meth od for the production of a desired protein in the M. capsulatus.
