GENE ENCODING ANTIMICROBIAL PEPTIDE AND PRODUCTION THEREOF

摘要

PURPOSE:To provide a novel gene participating the production of antimicrobial peptides such as iturin A or surfactin useful for controlling damping off or wilting. CONSTITUTION:The gone encoding antimicrobial peptide of the formula. The plasmid containing the antimicrobial peptide gene is prepared from the gene library of Bacillus subtilis SD 142 strain and isolated by selecting clones forming harrow around it in the L-medium containing tributyrin.
