including using Bacillus subtilis as a host for the production and secretion of recombinant proteins and for protein engineering protocols. A secretory protein is any protein secreted by a cell in the body, and is most commonly found in the forms hormones, enzymes, toxins and anti-microbial peptides (Silverthorn et al., 2013). A study conducted by Brockmeier and colleagues proves that bacterial expression hosts can be a powerful tool in optimizing the expression of secretory proteins by facilitating
