NOVEL EXPRESSION VECTOR

摘要

The present inventors constructed a transformation system which uses as a host the Kocuria rhizophila NBRC 103217 strain which can maintain its cellular structure in various organic solvents and shows little protein leakage. As a result, by developing novel shuttle vectors derived from Kocuria varians NBRC 15358, the present inventors successfully induced the expression of a foreign protein in microorganisms belonging to the genus Kocuria which can maintain their cellular structure in non-aqueous systems and show little protein leakage.
