Summary:The process to produce heterologous proteins in a minimal culture medium consists of (i) transforming a bacterial strain that is secretary in a minimal culture medium with a plasmid that contains the coding sequence of said heterologous protein, (ii) culturing said strain in a minimal culture medium, and (iii) recovering the heterologous protein. The bacterial strain that is secretary in a minimal culture medium can be obtained by means of a process that comprises (a) transforming bacteria adapted to grow in a minimal culture medium with a plasmid that comprises a DNA sequence that encodes for a protein that is toxic for a bacteria when it accumulates in the cytoplasm and whose synthesis is coupled to the secretion into the periplasm, (b) culturing said transformed bacteria in a minimal culture medium, and (c) selecting the surviving bacteria. It is applicable in the production of proteins of interest in bacteria that are secretary in a minimal culture medium.
