Abstract
BL21-AI is a commercially available strain possessing a phage T7-based protein-expression system. A combination of tight regulation and high yield makes it widely used for high-level expression of toxic recombinant proteins. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of BL21-AI and provide insights on its genome.
