Abstract We will present our group results in the recombinant production of two enzymes (fructosyltransferase and invertase) that convert sucrose into value-added products and one enzyme (dextranase) used as aid to sugar production and refining. Constructed plasmids carrying several in-tandem copies of the transgene fused to a secretory signal peptide and under the transcriptional control of the constitutive glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAP) promoter were integrated in the Pichia pa...
