摘要:
The structural genes and their regulatory DNA sequences of an alcohol oxidase (MOX) and a dihydroxyacetone synthase (DHAS) of Hansenula polymorpha have been isolated and the nucleotide sequences determined. The invention relates to the use of the MOX gene, as well as the use of the regulatory DNA sequences of MOX and/or DAS in combination with the MOX gene, optionally after modification thereof, or other oxidase genes, or other genes, to produce engineered microorganisms, in particular yeasts. Said engineered microorganisms can produce oxidases or other enzymes in yields that allow industrial application on a large scale. Moreover, said engineered microorganisms can produce oxidases having improved properties with respect to their application in oxidation reactions and/or in bleaching and detergent products.

The invention relates to structural genes comprising encoding non-processed and partly processed thaumatin, to the various allelic forms of said non-processed thaumatin and to recombinant DNA's and plasmids comprising said structural genes coding for the various allelic forms of preprothaumatin, and naturally and/or artifically modified preprothaumatin in various stages of its natural processing, and to the use of said recombinant plasmids to transform microorganisms, particularly bacteria in which said genes are expressed.
摘要:
Isolation and identification of a gene encoding for a bacteriocin precursor in Pediococcus acidilactici, cloning of the gene in a vector plasmid and transformation to bacteria is described. The bacteriocin is particularly useful for inhibiting Listeria in food products.

摘要:
The invention provides a salt-inducible promoter present in SEQ ID NO: 10 and derivable from a lactic acid bacterium in isolation from the coding sequence normally controlled by said promoter in a wild-type lactic acid bacterium, with modifications and important parts thereof. Also provided are a recombinant vector and a transformed lactic acid bacterium comprising such promoter, and the production of a desired protein by such transformed bacterium, whereby the gene encoding said desired protein or a precursor thereof is expressed under control of such promoter. The desired protein can be secreted by the bacterium due to the presence of a signal sequence. The action of the salt-inducible promoter is enhanced at a pH of about 4-4.5 and/or by the presence of glutamic acid. Such process can be used in a fermentation process, in which the desired protein is a lytic protein causing lysis of the cells and release of the cell content. Or the desired protein can be an enzyme involved in flavour formation, e.g. in producing dressings, spreads, sausages and sour dough, or a protein functioning in a cheese production process, such as chymosin or a precursor thereof, or an enzyme involved in cheese flavour formation.
