Degs and degu operon from Bacillus-brevis: a combination that enhances the production of commercially valuable enzymes

Abstract

A novel method has been developed for increasing the production of commercially valuable enzymes, such as proteases, beta-glucanases, alpha-amylases and levansucrase. It is dependent on two genes cloned from Bacillus brevis, expressed on a multicopy vector and then transformed into a strain of B subtilis. This work holds promise particularly for multi-enzyme industrial processes such as in the biotreatment of organic waste.
