In order to investigate the possibility of using the FliC display system for biotransformation in B. halodurans, construct pSECNLipC habouring the LipA gene from Geobacillus thermoleovorans was designed and evaluated in shake flasks and batch fermentations. Lipases have been well characterised and play a role in a number of processes which include detergents, glycerolysis of fats and oils, direct esterification, chiral resolution and acylate synthesis (Litthauer et al. 2002). The use of lipases immobilized on the cell surface of Staphylococcus carnosus for biotransformation has been demonstrated using the fibronectin binding protein B fused to the Staphylococcus hyicus lipase
