L. Sobotkova et al., CLONING OF PENICILLIN-G ACYLASE-ENCODING GENE FROM ESCHERICHIA-COLI HIGH-PRODUCING STRAIN RE3, Biotechnology letters, 17(7), 1995, pp. 723-728
Pga gene from the industrial strain off. coli RE3 hyperproducing penic
illin G acylase (PGA) was cloned using a simple and rapid NIPAB-based
chromogenic method for the. detection of PGA-positive recombinant clon
es. Heterogeneous genetical material was prepared by subcloning pga in
vectors pACYC184, pBR322-2 and pK19. The highest constitutive express
ion of pga was observed in a strain bearing the recombinant plasmid pK
A18 synthesizing 2.5 times more of enzyme than the parent strain.
