A gene coding for endo-beta-1,3-1,4-glucanase (lichenase) containing a recombinant plasmid, pLL200K, was transferred from Bacillus circulans into a new shuttle plasmid, pLLS920, by ligating linearized DNAs of pLL200K and pUB110. B. subtilis RM125 and B. megaterium ATCC14945 transformed with pLLS920 produced the endo-beta-1,3-1,4-glucanase. The enzyme was produced during active growth with maximum activity. The B. subtilis (pLLS920) enzyme was 83 times (8522 mU ml(-1)) more active than that of the gene donor cells (103 mU ml(-1)). The B. megaterium (pLLS920) enzyme was 7 times (735 mU ml(-1)) more active than that of the gene donor cells. While E. coli secreted only about 10% of the produced enzyme, B. subtilis excreted the enzyme completely into the medium and B. megaterium by about 98%. The plasmid pLLS920 was stable in B. megaterium (98%), and in B. subtilis (51%) but not in E. coli (29%).
通过连接pLL200K和pUB110的线性化DNA,将编码含有重组质粒pLL200K的内切-β-1,3-1,4-葡聚糖酶(地衣聚糖酶)的基因从环状芽孢杆菌转移到新的穿梭质粒pLLS920中。用pLLS920转化的枯草芽孢杆菌RM125和巨大芽孢杆菌ATCC14945产生了内切-β-1,3-1,4-葡聚糖酶。该酶在活跃生长期间产生,活性最高。枯草芽孢杆菌(pLLS920)产生的酶活性比基因供体细胞(103 mU ml⁻¹)高83倍(8522 mU ml⁻¹)。巨大芽孢杆菌(pLLS920)产生的酶活性比基因供体细胞高7倍(735 mU ml⁻¹)。虽然大肠杆菌仅分泌约10%产生的酶,但枯草芽孢杆菌将酶完全分泌到培养基中,巨大芽孢杆菌则约98%分泌到培养基中。质粒pLLS920在巨大芽孢杆菌(98%)和枯草芽孢杆菌(51%)中稳定,但在大肠杆菌(29%)中不稳定。
