  • Title: Versatile microbial surface-display for environmental remediation and biofuels production.
    Author: Wu CH, Mulchandani A, Chen W.
    Journal: Trends Microbiol; 2008 Apr; 16(4):181-8. PubMed ID: 18321708.
    Abstract:
    Surface display is a powerful technique that uses natural microbial functional components to express proteins or peptides on the cell exterior. Since the reporting of the first surface-display system in the mid-1980s, a variety of new systems have been reported for yeast, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Non-conventional display methods are emerging, eliminating the generation of genetically modified microorganisms. Cells with surface display are used as biocatalysts, biosorbents and biostimulants. Microbial cell-surface display has proven to be extremely important for numerous applications, ranging from combinatorial library screening and protein engineering to bioremediation and biofuels production.
