| Abstract: | Summary To overproduce Serratia marcescens metalloprotease(SMP), various recombinant plasmids encoding SMP gene were constructed and the SMP productivities from the recombinant S. marcescens strains were examined. The recombinant S. marcescens strains indispensably required proteinaceous substrates such as casein for the extracellular production of SMP. We obtained maximum 9,100U/ml of SMP from the culture supernatant of S. marcescens ATCC27117 containing a regulatory plasmid pTSP2 encoding SMP gene fused with a strong trc99a promoter and its repressor gene lacIq, which is about 23 times higher than that of wild type strain. SMP produced from the recombinant S. marcescens(pTSP2) was 88.3% of total extracellular proteins. |
