The Bacillus subtilis system was developed as a host for gram-positive bacteria in a variety of applications, including agricultural, medical and food biotechnology and the production of recombinant proteins.
The Bacillus subtilis system is advantageous in that it is non-pathogenic, does not have significant bias in codon usage, and is capable of secreting functional extracellular proteins directly into the culture medium. A large body of information concerning transcription, translation, protein folding and secretion mechanisms, genetic manipulation, and large-scale fermentation is available.
The B. subtilis Pgrac01 expression system provides an easy-to-handle tool for high yield intracellular protein production with B. subtilis and for secretion of proteins into the culture medium in large amounts. Expression of the gene of interest is regulated by the Pgrac01 promoter fused to the lac operator, allowing the induction by addition of IPTG.
Bacillus subtilis control vectors are also available.
