Summary

This report describes the expression of cloned glucose oxidase gene (god) in glucose-oxidase-deficient mutants (God−) of Aspergillus niger NRRL-3, the use of this gene for the elevation of glucose oxidase (GOD) productivity in the parental strain, and the further improvement of GOD production by subjecting the transformants to nitrous acid mutagenesis.
