Abstract: By screening five different signal peptides to replace the original signal peptide of the plasmid pHT43-npr and integrating two different molecular chaperones(PrsA and DnaK)to the plasmid pHT43-npr,we constructed recombinant plasmids and then transformed them to Bacillus subtilis WB800N to have induced expressions. As a result,five recombinant strains with new signal peptide were constructed,no hydrolyzed circles emerged via milk plate testing,and all the five strains’ enzyme activities were obviously lower than that by control strain. We also successfully constructed two recombinant strains integrated the molecular chaperones,both of the two strains emerged hydrolyzed circles in milk plate testing. Both strains had neutral protease expressed,and the enzyme activity of recombinant strain WB800N/pHT43-npr-PrsA increased 23%,and the enzyme activity of recombinant strain WB800N/pHT43-npr-DnaK increased 33%,compared with control strain WB800N/pHT43-npr.
