PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a pectate lyase gene capable of mass-producing a simple one and useful as a detergent, a food processing agent, a textile treating agent, etc., by encoding a specific amino acid sequence. SOLUTION: This gene is capable of encoding an amino acid sequence represented by formula I or an amino acid sequence in which one or several amino acids are deleted, substituted or added in the amino acid sequence. The pectate lyase gene is preferably produced by culturing a transformant having the base sequence represented by formula II or a base sequence in which one or several bases are deleted, substituted or added in the base sequence, containing a recombinant vector containing the pectate lyase gene and transforming a host which is a microorganism. The transformant is deposited as Bacillus sp. KSM-P 103 strain (FERM P-15988) or Bacillus sp. KSM-97 strain (FERM P-15985). |
