ABSTRACT:
A host microorganism capable of increasing productivity of a protein or polypeptide, a recombinant microorganism obtained by introducing a gene encoding a protein or polypeptide into the host microorganism, and a method for producing a protein or polypeptide using the recombinant microorganism are provided.Also provided is a recombinant microorganism obtained by introducing into a host microorganism a gene encoding a heterologous protein or polypeptide, wherein in said host microorganism theBacillus subtilisaprX gene or a gene corresponding to the aprX gene has been deleted or knocked out, and a method for producing a protein or polypeptide using the recombinant microorganism.
