  • Shuttle vectors for Escherichia coli and cyanobateria
    Patent number: 5821119
    Abstract: A vector plasmid containing(a) the OriA region of plasmid pBA1 derived from Anacystis nidulans,(b) the multicloning region and(c) the region of colicin E1 plasmid, which contains the OriE region thereof and wherein the gene defined by the rop region thereof is removed.This plasmid is replicable in the cells of both Escherichia coli and cyanobacteria and thus useful as a shuttle vector.

  • Expression of human SOD in blue green algae
    Patent number: 5804408
    Abstract: A method for expressing a physiologically active polypeptide in cells of a blue-green alga by transforming the cells of a blue-green alga with a recombinant DNA containing a structural gene encoding the polypeptide, characterized in that as the recombinant DNA is used a recombinant DNA which contains a structural gene encoding the physiologically active polypeptide, the transcription initiation region of the RuBisCO gene of Anacystis nidulans located upstream of the structural gene, and the transcription termination region of the RuBisCO gene located downstream of the structural gene. According to this method, physiologically active polypeptide can efficiently be expressed using blue-green algae.
