Recombinant Humicola lipase and process for the production of recombinant humicola lipases

摘要

A process for the production of a recombinant Humicola lipase is provided. The process comprises cultivating an Aspergillus sp. host transformed with a vector system comprising DNA sequences encoding functions facilitating gene expression and optionally a suitable marker for selection of transformants, and a DNA sequence encoding the Humicola lipase. A preferred host organism is Aspergillus oryzae. The recombinant Humicola lipase from A.oryzae differs from the native lipase in having a greater glycosylation and in exhibiting an improved thermostability.
