Comparison of extracellular cutinase activities using B. subtilis pBSMuL3-SP-cutinase as expression host with different Sec signal peptides. Cutinase activities reported by Brockmeier et al. [16] are reproduced using the MPP cultivation setup, but with lower statistical error. Cutinase activities are normalized by the maximal value of the corresponding data series, error bars as standard deviation from eight biological replicates (this work) or 25% as reported by Brockmeier et al. [16]
