Title: Genetically enhanced cellulase production in Pseudomonas cellulosa using recombinant DNA technology

Patent ·
OSTI ID:20013225

An enhanced strain of Pseudomonas cellulosa was obtained by introducing a recombinant genetic construct comprising a heterologous cellulase gene operably connected to a promoter into ATCC 55702, mutagenizing the transformants by treatment with MNNG, and selecting a high cellulase producing transformant. The transformant, designated Pseudomonas cellulosa ATCC XXXX, exhibits enhanced levels of cellulase production relative to the untransformed Pseudomonas cellulosa strain {number{underscore}sign}142 ATCC 55702.
