Microbial cell surface display; its medical and environmental applications

ABSTRACT

Cell-surface display is the expression of peptides and proteins on the surface of living cells by fusing them to functional components of cells which are exposed to the environment of cells. This strategy can be carried out using different surface proteins of cells as anchoring motifs and different proteins from different sources as a passenger protein. It is a promising strategy for developing novel whole cell factories. Surface engineered cells have many potential uses ranging from medical to environmental applications. This review focuses on different strategy and applications of microbial surface display
