Our results indicate that larger fragment containing gpd-box enhances the production of beta-galactosidase activity levels respect to ct-box alone, and that both boxes are necessary to obtain maximal enzymatic activity production. The smaller fragment (187 nt) containing the ct-box alone was able to trigger up to 27% of beta-galactosidase activity, and to our knowledge this is the smallest fragment from a gpd gene used to produce a recombinant protein. Differences were not observed when glycerol, galactose or glucose were used as carbon sources, suggesting that the promoter activity is carbohydrate-independent.
