Transformant of yeast of genus schizosaccharomyces, and method for producing same

Abstract

To provide a transformant of a yeast of the genus Schizosaccharomyces which can produce β-glucosidase, and a method for producing such a transformant. A transformant of a yeast of the genus Schizosaccharomyces characterized by having a structural gene sequence encoding a β-glucosidase derived from a filamentous fungus, and a promoter sequence and a terminator sequence for expressing the structural gene in a chromosome, or alternatively by having the sequences as an extrachromosomal gene. Further, a transformation method for a yeast of the genus Schizosaccharomyces, characterized in that the yeast of the genus Schizosaccharomyces is transformed by using a vector having a structural gene sequence encoding a β-glucosidase derived from a filamentous fungus, and a promoter sequence and a terminator sequence for expressing the structural gene.
