Metabolic engineering of Escherichia coli for efficient biosynthesis of fluorescent phycobiliprotein

Abstract Background Phycobiliproteins (PBPs) are light-harvesting protein found in cyanobacteria, red algae and the cryptomonads. They have been widely used as fluorescent labels in cytometry and immunofluorescence analysis. A number of PBPs has been produced in metabolically engineered Escherichia...
