Genome alterations associated with improved transformation efficiency in Lactobacillus reuteri

Abstract Background Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are one of the microorganisms of choice for the development of protein delivery systems for therapeutic purposes. Although there are numerous tools to facilitate genome engineering of lactobacilli; transformation efficiency still limits the ability to e...
