  • Title: [Mapping and cloning of the gene coding for beta-glucanase from various bacilli].
    Author: Borriss R, Hofemeister J.
    Journal: Mol Gen Mikrobiol Virusol; 1985 Feb; (2):21-6. PubMed ID: 3842743.
    Abstract:
    Beta-glucanase gene from Bacillus subtilis 168 has been mapped by bacteriophage pBS1 transduction technique between sacA and purA genes. The stimulating effect of pleiotropic mutations pap, amyB and sacUh on beta-glucanase production in Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens has been described. Beta-glucanase gene from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens has been cloned ona Charon 4A vector. Expression of the gene in E. coli cells depended on the orientation of the cloned DNA on a pBR322 vector plasmid. Maximal enzymatic activity was registered in periplasm. Beta-glucanase gene was recloned in Bacillus subtilis cells. Bacillus subtilis strain, harbouring pBG1, produces 500 times more beta-glucanase as compared with the wild type strain of Bacillus subtilis.
