title: [Transfer and expression of mutations in pleiotropic genes determining the synthesis of extracellular enzymes in Bacillus subtilis].
abstract: The mutations in the genes determining the levels of extracellular enzymes production were transferred into Bacillus subtilis 168 strain by genetic transformation technique. The method used has permitted registering the transfer of pleiotropic genes. Seven amylase producers were detected among 126 his+ transformants screened, as well as five metalprotease producers among 246 gly+ transformants. Cotransfer of pap and hpr mutant genes linked with his+ or gly+ genes might result in finding the producers among the mentioned prototrophic transformants. Selection of linked markers in transformation, presented in the paper, is discussed to be a useful technique for obtaining producer strains for industrial production.
