Fusion of BMC targeting peptides to enzymes has a variable effect on activity.
Tagged enzymes for 1,2-propanediol synthesis are localised to a BMC.
BMC-targeted proteins localised within the BMC are protected from proteases.
TEM reveals tagged enzymes form large intracellular protein aggregates.
Strains with enzyme aggregates are shown to have enhanced 1,2-propanediol production.
