Codon optimization significantly improves the expression level of a keratinase gene in Pichia pastoris. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The main keratinase (kerA) gene from the Bacillus licheniformis S90 was optimized by two codon optimization strategies and expressed in Pichia pastoris in order to improve the enzyme production compared to the preparations with the native kerA gene.
