ABSTRACT:
The present invention refers to a koji mold capable of expressing proteolytic enzymes in the presence of a carbon source in at least the same amount as in the absence thereof. In particular, the present invention pertains to a mutation in the creA gene as a tool to increase the amount of a wide spectrum of proteolytic enzymes in the presence of a carbon source.
