Abstract

Eucaryotic cells cotransformed with product and selection genes yield considerably greater quantities of product after a novel subcloning strategy is employed: Transformants are identified for product yield, cultured under selection pressure and the progeny screened for product yield. Novel transformation vectors contain directly ligated selection and product genes and/or eucaryotic promoters.
