Engineering Bordetella pertussis BrkA Autotransporter for Chitin-Binding Domain Surface Expression: Exploring its Potential for Whole-Cell Immobilization

The BrkA autotransporter is an important virulence factor in Bordetella pertussis that confers serum resistance and mediates cell adherence. As it is self-secreting and only one protein needs to be manipulated, this makes it a relatively simple secretion pathway that can be explo...
