E. coli expression system is most widely used in prokaryotic expression system for its simplicity, inexpensive cost, mature and complete system, etc. However, it does have shortcomings. E. coli expression system expresses protein in intracellular and periplasmic space other than secretory expressing in eukaryotic system. Although E. coli system can realize these functions with some signal elements, it is far less efficient and convenient than the Bacillus subtilis expression system. Bacillus subtilis is widely applicable in medicine and food industry as an environmentally friendly gram positive bacteria.
Bacillus subtilis is nonpathogenic and has a simple cytoderm. They secrete protein products free from cell endotoxin and have a low codon bias. Bacillus subtilis secretes protein with high solubility and bioactivity.
Bacillus subtilis expression system has a shorter expression cycle, lower expression cost and higher expression level compared to eukaryotic expression.
AtaGenix's Bacillus subtilis expression system has suitable bacteria strains and corresponding vectors for both intracellular and secretory expression, which can meet the various requirements of clients.
Efficient transformation method which shortens the period of transforming and boosts the success rate up to 90% as it solved the transforming problem of Bacillus subtilis.
