"The outermost stratum of the S-layer is an ideal organic matrix that not only protects microorganisms against harmful environmental effects but also facilitates the deposition of minerals."

Dr Smit's team adapted the system that secretes this protein, which self-assembles into a structure called the "S-layer", to secrete instead many proteins that are useful for vaccines and other therapeutic purposes.

According to their findings, the bio-seeds are bacteria that have an additional protein layer, known as the S-layer, on their outer membrane.

Or, by keeping the S-layer protein intact and genetically inserting new things inside it, they produce a very dense display of useful proteins on the cell surface and then expect to use the entire bacterium in a therapeutic application.

The S-box output then replaces that part so the combined S-box outputs become the S-layer output.

The S-layer typically uses look-up tables called S-boxes or substitution boxes, though other mechanisms are also possible.
