Zusammenfassung: | We describe the construction of a lactose-utilizing
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
that expresses the cDNA for a secreted, thermostable β-galactosidase (
lacA
) from
Aspergillus niger
. Yeast cells expressing the
lacA
gene from the yeast
ADH1
promoter on a multicopy plasmid secrete up to 40% of the total P-galactosidase activity into the growth medium. The secreted product is extensively N-glycosylated, and cells expressing the
lacA
gene grow on whey permeate (4% w/v lactose) with a doubling time of 1.6 hours. Such strains may offer a solution to the increasing problem of waste whey disposal. |
