The pheB gene from Geobacillus stearothermophilus DSM6285 has been exploited as a reporter gene for Geobacillus spp. The gene product, catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C23O), catalyzes the formation of 2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde, which can be readily assayed. The reporter was used to examine expression from the ldh promoter associated with fermentative metabolism.
来自嗜热脂肪地芽孢杆菌 DSM6285 的 pheB 基因被用作地芽孢杆菌属的报告基因。该基因产物儿茶酚 2,3-双加氧酶 (C23O) 催化 2-羟粘康酸半醛的形成,可方便地进行测定。该报告基因用于检测与发酵代谢相关的 ldh 启动子的表达。
