  • Secretion is the process of elaborating, releasing, and oozing chemicals, or a secreted chemical substance from a cell or gland. In contrast to excretion, the substance may have a certain function, rather than being a waste product. Secretion in bacterial species means the transport or translocation of effector molecules for example proteins, enzymes or toxins from across the interior of a bacterial cell to its exterior.
