Research Abstract |
Aeromonas, which is a causative agent of diarrhea of adults and children, could not produce active metalloprotease and lipase in the medium containing 3% NaCl, though it could produce them under physiological condition. In this study, we constructed the mutant strain in which the gene encoding LysR type transcriptional factor is deleted and examined whether the deletion of LysR affects the production of metalloprotease. The results show that LysR type transcriptional factor is not involved in production of metalloprotease. Additionally, we found the lipase gene is transcribed in the medium containing 3% NaCl as well as in the medium 0. 5% NaCl, though production of lipase is reduced under salty condition. And we showed that the lipase produced slightly in the medium containing 3% NaCl is denatured.
