Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for the production of a lipid acyltransferase comprising the steps of: (i) providing a Bacillus licheniformis cell; (ii) transforming the Bacillus licheniformis cell with a heterologous nucleotide sequence encoding a lipid acyltransferase; and (iii) expressing the lipid acyltransferase in the cell under the control of a promoter sequence. In addition, the present invention further relates to the use of Bacillus licheniformis to express a lipid acyltransferase, a Bacillus licheniformis host cell comprising a heterologous lipid acyltransferase and a vector comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a lipid acyltransferase operably linked to a promoter sequence homologous to B. licheniformis.
