A PROMOTER SEQUENCE OF 3-PHOSPHOGLYCERATE KINASE GENE 2 OF LACTIC ACID-PRODUCING FUNGUS <i>RHIZOPUS ORYZAE</i> AND A METHOD OF EXPRESSING A GENE OF INTEREST IN FUNGAL SPECIES

摘要

The present invention provides the promoter clone discovery of Phosphoglycerate kinase gene 2 of a lactic acid-producing filamentous fungal strain, Rhizopus oryzae. The isolated promoter can constitutively regulate gene expression under various carbohydrate conditions. In addition, the present invention also provides a design of an integration vector for the transformation of a foreign gene in Rhizopus oryzae.
