Method for the production of salmon growth hormone using a synthetic gene

摘要

High protein content feed or hormonal steroids have been added to fish feed in order to elevate the efficiency of the feed. However, the steroids remain in the fish and may be detrimental to those who eat the fish. The invention relates to a method for the production of salmon growth hormone, which enhances the efficiency of the feed without the above side effects, using a synthetic gene in yeast or E. coli. It has been found that salmon growth hormone may be produced economically and in bulk in yeast or E. coli by gene manipulation technology.
