Abstract

A method for improving the yield of heterologous protein such as ricin A toxin, produced by recombinant bacteria by supplementing the nutrient medium in which the bacteria are grown with an ethanol and/or amino acid mixture during the terminal phase of the cultivation. Also disclosed is a method for improving the yield of heterologous proteins under the control of the PL promoter.
