Aims and scope

Microbial Cell Factories is an open access peer-reviewed journal that covers any topic related to the development, use and investigation of microbial cells as producers of recombinant proteins and natural products, or as catalyzers of biological transformations of industrial interest. Microbial Cell Factories is the world leading, primary research journal fully focusing on Applied Microbiology.

Construct design, production, and characterization of Plasmodium falciparum 48/45 R0.6C subunit protein produced in Lactococcus lactis as candidate vaccine

Plasmodium falciparum 48/45 protein is a promising vaccine candidate for malaria, however, its development as a vaccine is hampered by the inability to produce high yields of protein. Susheel Singh and colleagues investigate the purification of the R0.6C sub-unit of the protein, expressed in Lactococcus lactis, to produce high levels of recombinant protein.
