Expression of melanin and insecticidal protein from Rhodotorula glutinis in Escherichia coli

Autor(es): Oloke, JK; Glick, BR


Resumo: Both the salmon/red melanin and the insecticidal producing genes of Rhodotorula glutinis was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli using plasmid pZErO-1. This work suggests that in Rhodotorula species melanin and insecticidal toxin are co-expressed and therefore possibly co-evolved.
