Overexpression of Aspergillus aculeatus cellobiohydrolase I in Aspergillus oryzae.

To express the cbhI gene, encoding Aspergillus aculeatus cellobiohydrolase I (CBHI), in Aspergillus oryzae, a plasmid was constructed. The strain that displayed the strongest CBHI activity among the transformants produced about 941 mg/l in liquid culture. It was confirmed by a PCR method that the plasmid was integrated at the niaD locus.
