Abstract

A recombinant DNA molecule, a portion of which includes a vector whose replication is initiated independently of the temperature-sensitive mutant gene of a temperature-sensitive mutant strain of the genus Bacillus as host is introduced into the host. The host is then cultured at a temperature which does not completely inhibit chromosomal DNA replication. By this process, the recombinant DNA molecule can be stabilized in the host and its expression can be enhanced.
