However, $\MyColi$ could compel an escaped recombinant bacterium to produce an industrial protein in the environment, when a bacterium without our system would quickly degenerate to stop producing the protein of industrial interest. The risk seems thin, since such an overproducing bacterium would suffer from a clear competitive disadvantage in a wild environment, but it is not excluded that the plasmid containing the $\MyColi$ system maintains itself anyway through Horizontal Gene transfer (HGT), at the expend of the wild bacteria it infects, benefiting of the proprieties of the TA system.</p> |
