Abstract excerpt
BbrPI, an extracellular serine proteinase inhibitors of B. brevis HPD31, is activated by proteolytic processing of an inactive precursor. To discover the physiological role of BbrPI, its deficient mutants were genetically constructed. Although the BbrPI deficient mutant had a higher extracellular...
