Isolation, expression and characterization of recombinant α-L-arabinofuranosidase from Aspergillus niger ATCC 120120 IN Pichia pastoris

A recombinant gene encoding α-ʟ-arabinofuranosidase (AnabfA) amplified from the genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of Aspergillus niger ATCC 120120 was successfully cloned and expressed in Pichia pastoris under the control of alcohol oxidase 1 (AOX1) promoter. Molecular analysis of the nucleotide s...
