    Abstract: PURPOSE:To obtain a new gene encoding alpha-amylase derived from Aspergillus kawachii, providing a large amount of an acid-resistant, thermostable and raw starch hydrolyzing alpha-amylase by gene manipulation, capable of directly producing an alcohol by transducing it into a yeast. CONSTITUTION:A conidium of Aspergillus kawachii IFO 4308 is inoculated into a medium and subjected to rotary shaking culture at 30 deg.C for 120 hours to give a mold. The prepared cell is collected by a filter, frozen with liquid nitrogen and ground and whole RNA is extracted from the ground cell by guanidine thiocyanate method and mRNA is isolated from the whole RNA by using an oligo alphaT column. Then the mRNA is used as a template to synthesize cDNA, a cDNA library is prepared by a conventional method and screened by using a DNA fragment containing part of a gene encoding an acid-resistant alpha-amylase as a probe to select a positive clone and to recover DNA, which is treated with a restriction enzyme to give the objective new gene encoding alpha-amylase having acid resistance, thermostability and raw starch hydrolyzing proprety.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To enable introduction of a giant DNA into a host yeast by using the protoplast fusion-accompanying transformation method. CONSTITUTION:Chromosomes are separated from a yeast and DNA derived from the separated chromosomes is recovered in a state of a giant DNA. The resultant DNA is directly introduced into a yeast using the pulse field gel electrophoresis method. The giant DNA is preferably obtained by separating the yeast chromosome DNA by molecular size using the pulse field gel electrophoresis method and recovering the separated chromosome DNA using an electrophoresis- like method. As the giant DNA for introduction, one obtained by mildly treating a giant DNA molecule with a restriction enzyme and then integrating a foreign gene thereinto can be used.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To obtain a new gene coding a β-galactosidase having a specific amino acid sequence and originated from Aspergillus oryzae, and giving a transformant highly expressing the above-mentioned enzyme useful for converting lactose into useful saccharides outside the cell. CONSTITUTION: This new gene codes a β-galactosidase having an amino acid sequence of the formula and originated from Aspergillus oryzae. The gene is useful for massively producing a transformant which highly expresses outside the 11 the K&B-galactosidase capable of converting lactose low in the utilization value into glucose and galactose which are high in the utilization values. The lactose is a main component in a whey by-produced in a process for producing cheese and casein. The gene is obtained by separating a chromosomal DNA from Aspergillus oryzae RIB 40 strain by a conventional method, making a chromosomal DNA library with the separated chromosomal DNA, screening the library with a product multiplied by a PCR method as a probe, selecting a positive clone and recovering the gene.
