Abstract excerpt
Chimeric enzymes between a cold-adapted isocitrate lyase (ICL) of a psychrophilic bacterium, Colwellia maris, (CmICL) and a mesophilic ICL of a nitrogen-fixing bacterium, Azotobacter vinelandii, (AvICL) were constructed by dividing the ICL genes into four regions of almost equal length and exchanging regions in various combinations. The chimeric ICL, which was replaced C-terminal region 4 of AvICL by the...
