VTT, Biotechnical Laboratory, Espoo, Finland.

The production of both homologous and heterologous proteins with the cellulolytic filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei is described. Biotechnically important improvements in the production of cellulolytic enzymes have been obtained by genetic engineering methodology to construct strains secreting novel mixtures of cellulases. These improvements have been achieved by gene inactivation and promoter changes. The strong and highly inducible promoter of the gene encoding the major cellulase, cellobiohydrolase I (CBHI) has also been used for the production of eukaryotic heterologous proteins in Trichoderma. The expression and secretion of active calf chymosin is described in detail.

D002918 Chymotrypsin A serine endopeptidase secreted by the pancreas as its zymogen, CHYMOTRYPSINOGEN and carried in the pancreatic juice to the duodenum where it is activated by TRYPSIN. It selectively cleaves aromatic amino acids on the carboxyl side. Alpha-Chymotrypsin Choay,Alphacutanée,Avazyme
D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
D004790 Enzyme Induction An increase in the rate of synthesis of an enzyme due to the presence of an inducer which acts to derepress the gene responsible for enzyme synthesis. Induction, Enzyme
D005800 Genes, Fungal The functional hereditary units of FUNGI. Fungal Genes,Fungal Gene,Gene, Fungal
D005822 Genetic Vectors DNA molecules capable of autonomous replication within a host cell and into which other DNA sequences can be inserted and thus amplified. Many are derived from PLASMIDS; BACTERIOPHAGES; or VIRUSES. They are used for transporting foreign genes into recipient cells. Genetic vectors possess a functional replicator site and contain GENETIC MARKERS to facilitate their selective recognition.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
