Abstract

A Bacillus subtilis mannanase gene was subcloned into an Escherichia coli- Corynebacterium lactofermentum shuttle vector pHE83, and the resultant plasmid pHE83M was transferred into an endogenous plasmid-free strain of C. lactofermentum. Mannanase produced by the recombinant C. lactofermentum (pHE83M) was secreted extracellulary at the level of 86%, and the remaining activity of mannanase was detected in the cell-free extract. The maximum mannanase productivity of the recombinant strain reached 8.1 unit/mL in the culture filtrate of LB medium. According to the zymogram of mannanase on SDS-PAGE, it was found that the mannanase produced by the recombinant C. lactofermentum could be maintained stably with a migration identical to the mannanase produced by the parental strain, B. subtilis WL-3.
