Abstract:
A method for producing a polypeptide, which comprises:(a) cultivating a mutant of a Bacillus cell, wherein (i) the mutant comprises a nucleic acid sequence encoding the polypeptide, and (ii) the mutant produces less YjbH than the Bacillus cell when cultured under the same conditions, wherein the YjbH (i) is encoded by a DNA sequence that is at least 70% identical to the DNA sequence of nucleotides 1-828 of SEQ ID NO: 11. or (ii) has an amino acid sequence that is at least 70% identical to the sequence of amino acid residues 1-275 of SEQ ID NO: 2; and (b) isolating the polypeptide from the culture medium.
