Microbial cell surface display; its medical and environmental applications %K Environmental %K Medical %K Microbial Surface Display %R %X Cell-surface display is the expression of peptides and proteins on the surface of living cells by fusing them tofunctional components of cells which are exposed to the environment of cells. This strategy can be carriedout using different surface proteins of cells as anchoring motifs and different proteins from different sourcesas a passenger protein. It is a promising strategy for developing novel whole cell factories. Surface engineeredcells have many potential uses ranging from medical to environmental applications. This review focuses on different strategy and applications of microbial surface display. Display %U https://www.ijbiotech.com/article_7171_54a154fd2b34e89985489edeaf46bb3a.pdf
