Abstract

The search of optimal conditions for phage-dependent supersynthesis of β-lactamase was undertaken. For this purpose the recombinant phage with alternatively orientated β-lactamase (bla) structure gene were obtained. It was stated, that phage λblaNN-, λblaQR derivates are obtained. The β-lactamase producing strain was selected. The maximal recovery of β-lactamase was obtained while Su0 E. coli W3101 strain was infected by λ-phage bla QR.
