Advanced Strategies for Improving the Production of Industrial Enzymes in Heterologous Host Systems

Hangtao Pan, Yanxia Chen and Ping Yu

Industrial enzymes, such as glucoamylase and amylase etc., are important biocatalysts which are widely used in many fields. In this paper, advanced strategies for improving the production of industrial enzymes in heterologous host systems were reviewed from the following aspects: the introduction of the strong promoter, the increase in the copy number of genes, the alternative to the signal peptide and the use of preferred codons.
