Abstract

A strong constitutive $P_{JH}$ promoter from Bacillus was applied to overexpress the end oxylanase gene in Bacillus subtilis. The expression plasmid, pJHKJ4, was designed to contain the $P_{JH}$ promoter and endoxylanase promoter $(P_B)$, and introduced into Bacillus subtilis DB431 The total activities of the enzymes reached about 140 unit/ml by cultivation of B. subtilis DB431 harboring pJHKJ4 in LB glucose medium. Ultrafilteration is effective its yield is 70%.
