Strategies to display heterologous proteins on the cell surface of lactic acid bacteria using as anchor the C-terminal domain of Lactobacillus acidophilus SlpA

This study presents the development of a protein delivery platform involvingL. acidophilus, a microorganism generally regarded as safe, which utilizes the contiguous, non-covalently attached S-layer at the cell surface of the bacterium without introducing any genetic modification.Graphic abstract
