Recombinant Production of Silk Proteins via Bacillus Megaterium Secretion (Updated)
RPI ID:
2023-070-301
Innovation Summary:
This technology enables the recombinant production of silk proteins using Bacillus megaterium as a secretion host. The system leverages the bacterium’s natural secretion pathways to produce and release silk proteins extracellularly, simplifying downstream purification. The method supports scalable production...
