Advantages of having several models:<o:p></o:p>

       In our secretion system, we are using two genes with different sizes as our target secretion genes, GFP being short in length and Luciferase being comparably long would test our secretion system and its ability to secrete small and large proteins.
      Testing multiple different combinations; Signal Sequence alone, Signal Sequence plus ompA/INPNC and ompA/INPNC alone, would help us find the best combination for our secretion system based on their secretion ability and rank them from strongest to weakest in strength (in this specific system).

<a

name="different_genes"></a>Why

test different genes in our secretion system?
<o:p></o:p>

     There is wide range of genes present in our environment. Therefore, it is important to measure our secretion system’s ability to secrete genes of various sizes.
