A new carboxypeptidase from Aspergillus niger with good thermostability, pH stability and broad substrate specificity

Abstract A new serine carboxypeptidase gene, capA, was identified in Aspergillus niger CBS 513.88 by reading genomic information and performing sequence alignment, and the gene was cloned and expressed in Pichia pastoris GS115. In a shake flask, the enzyme activity of the recombinant strain GS115 (p...
