Recombinant Expression of Pleurocidin cDNA Using the Pichia pastoris Expression System

This research utilized the Pichia pastoris expression system for recombinant expression of cDNA of pleurocidin, a small (2.7 kd) antimicrobial peptide isolated from winter flounder (Pleuronectes americanus). The Pichia vector contains the alcohol oxidase gene promoter (AOX 1), which under the indu...
