Abstract: In this paper, rennin gene was amplified from Mucor pusillus and sequenced. The nucleic acid sequence and amino-acid sequence encoded by the gene were compared using DNAman biological software. Results showed that amplified fragmentwas a novel rennin gene(mcp). re-combination Pichia pastoris KM71/PIC9K-mcp was constructed successfully and obtained amulti-copied integrated strain of MK3 by resistant screening (G418). Initial fermation experiments were carried out andmethanol was used as sole carbon source. The enzyme activity of re-combination MK3 was 5.4U/ml in above condition.

Key words: rennin, clone, sequence analysis, re-combination strain, express
