Abstract excerpt
Streptomyces are Gram-positive soil bacteria that are used industrially, not only as a source of medically important natural compounds, but also as a host for the secretory production of a number of heterologous proteins. A good understanding of the different secretion processes in this organism is therefore of major importance. The functionality of the recently discovered bacterial twin-arginine translocation...
