Abstract
Bacillus subtilis is a Gram-positive bacterium that is frequently used in the bioindustry for the production of various proteins, because of its superior protein secretion capacities. To determine optimal conditions for protein secretion by B. subtilis, a quick and sensitive method for measuring protein secretion is crucial. A fast and universal assay is most useful for detecting diverse proteins in a high-throughput manner. In this study, we introduce a split-luciferase-based method for measuring protein secretion by B. subtilis. The NanoBiT system was used to monitor secretion of four different proteins: xylanase A, amylase M, protein glutaminase A, and GFP nanobody. Our findings underscore the split-luciferase system as a quick, sensitive, and user-friendly method.
