Abstract

Abstract A promoter comprises a DNA having the same base sequence as that of a DNA fraction having a size of about 1.1 kbp, which is obtained by cleavage by restriction enzyme Bam HI of a DNA fraction comprising all of a 16SrRNA gene and a part of a 23SrRNA gene, said DNA fraction being obtained by cleavage by restriction enzyme Eco RI of chloroplast DNA of Marchantia polymorpha L. The promoter is integrated with a DNA having the same sequence as that of DNA derived from a procaryote into a vector.
