CLONING AND EXPRESSION OF THE EXO-POLYGALACTURONASE GENE FROM ASPERGILLUS

摘要

The present invention discloses a DNA sequence encoding the exo-polygalacturonase gene from Aspergillus. Specifically the Aspergillus tubigensis exo-polygalacturonase gene is cloned and expressed. The invention relates to vectors comprising the exo-polygalacturonase coding sequence and to host cells transformed with such vectors. The invention further relates to the production of recombinant exo-polygalacturonase and to the use of this protein.
