| + | glucoamylase is an essential raw material, which accounted for a lot of costs. Our project aimed to |
− | drink, etc. The oral form can facilitate rotavirus patients' treatment and prevent children from developing | + | develop the Saccharomyces cerevisiae in order to self-secrete glucoamylase, thus, reducing the cost also |
− | resistance. In this project, the construction and characterization of the plasmids for oral rotavirus | + | improving the fermentation efficiency. In the lab, we started off by constructing 4 plasmids, pYES2-ctl, |
− | vaccine production were completed in order to prepare the target vaccine. Genes for the β subunit of the
| + | pYES2-TGC, pYES2-HGC, and pYES2-IGC, with different promoters, respectively by Golden Gate Cloning and |
− | heat-labile enterotoxin (LTB) from E. coli and the immunodominant outer core protein VP7 were cloned and | + | then transformed them into the yeast. After selection by several enzyme activity tests and fermentation |
− | expressed as a fusion protein. After being introduced into Bacillus subtilis, the plasmid could recognize | + | performance tests, we finally obtained the expected engineered yeast and hope our work will contribute |
