Summary

ABacillus subtilis gene which codes for endoglucanase was transferred intoLactobacillus acidophilus by electroporation with plasmids containing the gene. The endoglucanase gene expressed well in the transformed cells and most of the gene product was found in the culture medium. The efficiency of the endoglucanase production by the transformed.L. acidophilus cells depended greatly on the choice of the vector plasmids on which the gene to be inserted.
