Abstract: A process for site-directed integration of multiple copies of a gene in a mould is provided, which comprises transforming a mould cell containing in its chromosomal DNA a restriction site for a rare-cutting endonuclease, e.g., I-Scel, preferably introduced at a desired locus, e.g., within a selectable marker gene or in the neighborhood thereof, with a piece of DNA comprising multiple copies of at least one expressible gene comprising at least one structural gene encoding a desired protein, surrounded by two DNA fragments homologous to part of the DNA upstream and downstream, and in the neighborhood, of said restriction site, while during the transformation of the mould the presence of the rare-cutting endonuclease is provided, followed by selecting or screening for a mould cell in which the multiple gene copies of said expressible gene are inserted into the chromosomal DNA of the mould.

Abstract: The invention relates to isolation of an Aspergillus gene encoding rhamnogalacturonase (RG-ase) and the construction of recombinant Aspergillus strains with overexpression of RG-ase. These strains can be used for the commercial production of RG-ase. RG-ase is an important enzyme in processes requiring the degradation and/or modification of pectin or modification of pectin-containing vegetable or plant cell wall material. RG-ase may be used in various applications, including the processing of fruits and vegetables, in the extraction of components from vegetable material or for improving the functionality of pectin or pectin-containing vegetable material, food material or plant cell wall material.

Abstract: Methods are described for the isolation and characterization of DNA sequences from Aspergillus niger var. awamori which are involved in the expression and secretion of endoxylanase II (exlA) by said Aspergillus mould. A process using these expression and/or secretion regulating regions to direct the production and optionally the secretion of proteins other than endoxylanase II by transformed moulds is provided.

Abstract: This invention relates to enzymes, to rDNA techniques applicable for example to their production, to mutated genes, vectors and mutant and transformed microorganisms useful in their production, and to their uses including for example enzymatic detergent and cleaning compositions containing them.

Abstract: The invention relates to recombinant DNA technology for the production of an enzyme having sulfhydryl oxidase ("SOX") activity. This SOX-enzyme can be used where the oxidation of free sulfhydryl groups (thio compounds) to the corresponding disulfides is desirable. SOX enzyme may be used for treatment of bakery products or for removal of off-flavour from milk or beer.
