Title: Cloning of a yeast alpha-amylase promoter and its regulated heterologous expression

Patent ·
OSTI ID:875139

The present invention provides the promoter clone discovery of an alpha-amylase gene of a starch utilizing yeast strain Schwanniomyces castellii. The isolated alpha-amylase promoter is an inducible promoter, which can regulate strong gene expression in starch culture medium.
