An E. coli strain is described that is deficient in chromosomal degP and prc encoding protease DegP and Prc, respectively, and harbors a mutant spr gene that encodes a protein that suppresses growth phenotypes exhibited by strains harboring prc mutants. Preferably, the strain comprises nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide heterologous to the strain, so that a heterologous polypeptide can be produced therefrom. |
