Abstract
The invention relates to recombinant DNA molecules and to methods for producing proteins by means of said molecules. Particularly, the present invention relates to recombinant DNA molecules which are capable of being synthesized in Bacillus strain bacteria comprising the regulation and deleted non-functional signal sequence of the a-amylase gene of B. amyloliquefaciens, or a substantial part thereof, to which sequence a structural gene of any desired homologous or heterologous protein or peptide may be joined. These recombinant DNA molecules can be used, for example, to achieve intracellular expression of any desired protein or peptide in Bacillus strain bacteria.
