5、n bacteria other than Corynebac-terium diphtheriae has proven to be difficult. Here we propose a new and alternative procedure for theproduction of full-length CRM197 in Escherichia coli. The present study relates specifically to the expres-sion of an artificial sequence and to a method for
6、 the isolation and purification of the correspondingprotein. In particular, a synthetic gene coding for CRM197, bearing a short histidine tag and optimizedfor E. coli codon usage, was cloned in the pET9a vector. Accordingly, the over-expression of the pro-tein was simply induced with arab
