The world of ribonucleases from pseudomonads: a short trip through the main features and singularities

Summary The development of synthetic biology has brought an unprecedented increase in the number molecular tools applicable into a microbial chassis. The exploration of such tools into different bacteria revealed not only the challenges of context dependency of biological functions but also the comp...
