Abstract
A process for producing organic compounds from an organism is disclosed, together with a recombinant cloning vector and host useful therewith. The invention appears to be most suitable for producing organisms whose growth is inhibited by the product which they produce. In one embodiment of the process, a recombinant cloning vector is prepared which has a gene determinant for the organic compound and an antibiotically inducible control region. The gene determinant is subjected to the control of the control region such that production of the organic compound is inhibited prior to induction. After insertion of the recombinant cloning vector into the host organism, the host is grown to a desired density. Thereafter, production is induced by adding an inducing antibiotic to the host.
