| Research Abstract |
Escherichia coli expression system has generally been used for producing recombinant proteins, whereas it often results in insoluble and/or non-functional proteins. In this study, approximately 2, 000 E. coli strains of marine metagenomic library were screened for new promoting factor for active recombinant-proteins. Three positive clones, which promote growth of E. coli at low temperature, were obtained. In addition, these clones contained putative new factors. The results indicate that these clones may be useful for the construction of new E. coli expression system at low temperature in order to produce active recombinant-proteins.
