Pseudosecretion of Escherichia coli chloramphenicol acetyltransferase by Bacillus subtilis

Abstract
Bacillus subtilis harboring the vector 25RBSII secrets an Escherichia coli-derived chloramphenicol acetyltransferase into culture supernatants. The secreted enzyme lacks 18 amino acids; these are removed externally rather than during secretion.
