PRODUCTION OF CELLULASE ENZYMES IN PLANT HOSTS USING TRANSIENT AGROINFILTRATION.

摘要

Described herein are methods useful for producing proteins, such as enzymes, by agrofiltration. The methods involve producing an Agrobacterium with a Ti plasmid encoding a cellulase, infecting plant cells with the Agrobacterium, allowing expression of the cellulase, and recovering the cellulase from the plant cells. In one embodiment, the protein produced is an endoglucanase.
