Abstract
This invention relates to recombinant-DNA-technology. Specifically this invention relates to new recombinant yeast cells transformed with SEB1 gene. Yeast cells transformed with several copies of SEB1 gene, or overexpressing the Seb1 protein by some other means, have an increased capacity to produce secreted foreign or endogenous proteins. Further, said new recombinant cells, when transformed with genes expressing suitable hydrolytic enzymes can utilize appropriate macromolecular compounds more efficiently, which results in increased cell mass production and/or more versatile utilization of the compounds in relevant biotechnical applications.
