Abstract

An isolated gene encoding a polypeptide which is required for secretion of esterase originated from a microorganism of the genus Serratia, a recombinant plasmid comprising a plasmid prepared by inserting the isolated gene into a vector plasmid, a microorganism transformed with the recombinant plasmid, and a method for the production of an esterase which comprises cultivating the transformant microorganism as set forth above in a medium and collecting the produced esterase outside and inside the cells. The transformed microorganism have remarkably excellent capability of extracellular secretion of esterase.
