Displaying a recombinant protein on flocs self-produced by Escherichia coli through fused expression with elongation factor Ts

In this study, we demonstrated successful expression of a fusion protein consisting of Tsf and green fluorescence protein (GFP) on E. coli flocs. Interestingly, the percentage of Tsf-GFP in total floc protein reached approximately 15% (w/w). The proposed design of a fusion protein with Tsf enables displaying a recombinant target protein on the floc structure.
