An obvious type of bioreactor is an E. coli cell that displays the desired proteins on its outer membrane. This type of display is called cell surface display.

This works by fusing the protein of interest to


Notes

<partinfo>BBa_K265008</partinfo> is the first 211 and last 97 amino acids of ice nucleation protein (INP, coded by [http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/O30611 inaK] gene) from Pseudomonas syringae. It seems promising as a carrier of enzymes. [http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016777991000199X Van Bloois et al (2011)] speak highly of INP.

Berkeley 2009 Parts may be helpful: they tried several different carrier proteins.
