Abstract:

Core-streptavidin gene Stv13 (354bp) has been cloned from Streptmyces avidinii using PCR amplification. Plasmids were constructed through inserting the Stv 13 gene into pET22b+ and pGEX-4T-1 vectors for expression in E. coli. Another plasmid was also constructed through inserting the Stv13 gene into P43 vector for expression in B. subtilis. Most of core-streptavidin gene Stv13 was expressed in inclusion body as an insoluble form in E. coli expression system. In contrast, little core-streptavidin gene Stv13 was expressed in B. subtilis expression system.

Key words: streptavidin, core-streptavidin, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis
