Abstract
The invention relates to structural genes consisting of DNA sequences encoding non-processed and partly processed thaumatin, to the various allelic forms of said non-processed thaumatin and to recombinant DNA's and plasmids comprising said structural genes coding for the various allelic forms of preprothaumatin, and naturally and/or artificially modified preprothaumatin in various stages of its natural processing, and to the use of said recombinant plasmids to transform microorganisms, particularly bacteria in which said genes are expressed.
