although E. coli is known for its ability to express genes from B. subtilis, in contrast B. subtilis strongly discriminates against the expression of E. coli genes but expresses genes from other Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. This apparent asymmetry in the expression of heterologous genes between E. coli and B. subtilis is under active investigation ... 1, record 3, English, - heterologous%20gene
