| abstract |
The invention relates to a method for production of closed bacterial ghosts, by means of vesicle membrane fusion and the corresponding bacterial ghosts. Active agents, for example, genetic material, cell components, pharmaceutical and agricultural agents and markers or dyes, may be packed in the closed bacterial ghosts. The metabolic functions and, optionally, reproductive viability of the bacterial ghosts can be re-established on packing genetic material in the bacterial ghost. The closed ghosts can find application in the medical, agricultural and biotechnology fields. |
