Abstract:
The INU2 gene encoding an endoinulinase of Aspergillus ficuum was expressed by the Kluyveromyces marxianus INU1 promoter in a SUC2-deleted Saccharomyces cerevisiae to produce the endoinulinase preparation free of an exoinulinase and an extracellular invertase in the culture medium. A recombinant yeast strain produced the sufficient amount of the enzyme to make a halo around its colony, when inulin was included in the medium.
