Phytase genephyA2, whose signal peptide encoding sequence and intron sequence had been removed, was modified. The Arg-encoding codons CGG and CAG inphyA2 were mutated into synonymous codon AGA. The modifiedphyA2 was fused behind a-factor signal sequence under the control ofAOX1 promoter in plasmid pPIC9, then introduced into the hostPichia pastoris by electroporation. The results of Southern blotting analysis and Northem blotting analysis demonstrated that thephyA2 gene had integrated into the genome ofP. pastoris and transcribed. The result of SDS-PAGE of the phytase expressed by P.pastoris showed that the modifiedphyA2 had been overexpressed and secreted. The concentration of the phytase expressed by P.pastoris with modifiedphyA2 exceeded 15 000 U/mL, which had a 3 000-fold increase over that of originAspergillus niger 963 and was 37 times higher than that of recombinantP. pastoris with non-modifiedphyA2.
