RESUMO
The industrially important species of corynebacteria viz. Corynebacterium acetoacidophilum appear to be alternative hosts for recombinant protein production; despite many efforts, a strong promoter-based system in corynebacteria has not been established so far. Described here is a T7 promoter-based expression system which was functional in both gram-positive C. acetoacidophilum and gram-negative Escherichia coli in an external inducer independent manner. This is the very first report of a T7 expression system for Corynebacterium sp. Also, it is a useful addition in the existing T7 expression systems of E. coli.
