  • Pullulanase expression constructs containing &agr;-amylase promoter and leader sequences
    Patent number: 6300115
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are DNA expression constructs containing an &agr;-amylase promoter sequence derived from Bacillus stearothermophilus, an &agr;-amylase leader sequence derived from Bacillus stearothermophilus, and a DNA sequence encoding a pullulanase derived from Bacillus naganoensis. Microbial hosts transformed to contain the expression constructs secret function pullulanases. Also disclosed is a process for making recombinant pullulanases utilizing the expression constructs and a recombinant pullulanase which can be produced in Bacillus subtilis.
