Abstract excerpt
Transposon mutagenesis was used to isolate an Escherichia coli mutant that released into the external medium a heterologous protein, the Aeromonas hydrophila aerolysin. Genetic mapping and phenotypic characterization of E. coli CM209 showed that Tn5 is inserted in the tolQ gene. This mutant strain released a significant amount of unprocessed (proaerolysin) protein into the external medium, together with other...
