Streptococcus thermophilus, an emerging and promising tool for heterologous expression: Advantages and future trends

摘要: Streptococcus thermophilus is the second most used bacterium in dairy industry. It daily consumed by millions of people through worldwide consumption yogurts, cheeses and fermented milks. S. thermophilus presents many features that make it a good candidate for production heterologous proteins. First, its ability to be naturally transformable allows obtaining swiftly easily recombinant strains using various genetic tools available. Second, Generally Recognised As Safe status produce beneficial molecules or liberate bioactive peptides from milk proteins open up way development new functional foods maintain health well-being consumers. Finally, survive intestinal passage metabolically active gastrointestinal tract considering as potential tool delivering biological tract. The aim this review therefore take stock which can employed highlight advantages future trends use expression host.
