Publisher Summary The classical way of protein purification starting from a large number of
cells producing the protein using its authentic expression signals has been replaced by …

The identification, cloning, and characterization of protein toxins from various species of
bacilli have demonstrated the existence of mosquitocidal toxins with different structures …

We have examined the composition of members of mutator populations of Escherichia coli
by employing an extensive set of phenotypic screens that allow us to monitor the function of> …

The development of integrational vectors has provided a versatile system for the advance of
molecular genetic and mutagenic studies in Bacillus subtilis. Over the past decade, the …

An integration vector for use in Methanococcus voltae was constructed, based on the
Escherichia coli vector pUC18. It carries the structural gene for puromycin transacetylase …

A commercial grass silage starter strain of Lactobacillus plantarum was transformed by high-
frequency electroporation with plasmids containing an alpha-amylase gene from Bacillus …

Integrable vectors were constructed based on the plasmid pHV60, which is essentially a
pBR322 replicon carrying a chloramphenicol resistance marker, by inserting 1.3-kilobase …

The genus Bacillw; has a long history of importance, both from an economic point of view
and as a source of experimental microorganisms. This volume critically reviews aspects of …

To increase the production of keratinase, stable strains of Bacillus licheniformis carrying
multiple keratinase gene copies in the chromosome were developed. Integrative vectors …

Subtilisin expression as a function of growth and sporulation was determined using a
presubtilisin-beta-galactosidase gene fusion. An approximately 500-base-pair region …
