Molecular cloning and expression in E. coli of a Salmonella typhi porin gene

摘要

>Immunoscreening of a Salmonella typhi cosmid library in E. coli allowed the detection of clones producing a 36 kDa porin from S. typhi. The gene is efficiently expressed in an E. coli porin-less mutant and the protein is exported to the outer membrane envelope. Two clones which markedly differ in their level of expression have been isolated.
