Abstract
Fusion proteins containing a targeting sequence, an exosporium protein, or an exosporium protein fragment that targets the fusion protein to the exosporium of afamily member are provided. Recombinantfamily members expressing such fusion proteins are also provided. Genetically inactivatedfamily members and recombinantfamily members that overexpress exosporium proteins are also provided. Seeds coated with the recombinantfamily members and methods for using the recombinantfamily members (e.g., for stimulating plant growth) are also provided. Various modifications of the recombinantfamily members that express the fusion proteins are further provided. Fusion proteins comprising a spore coat protein and a protein or peptide of interest, recombinant bacteria that express such fusion proteins, seeds coated with such recombinant bacteria, and methods for using such recombinant bacteria (e.g., for stimulating plant growth) are also provided.
