High fidelity DNA polymerase from Pyrococcus furiosus (Pfupol) is an attractive alternative to the highly popular DNA polymerase from Thermus aquaticus. Because this enzyme is in great demand for biotechnological applications, optimizing Pfupol production is essential to supplying the industry's expanding demand. T7-induced promoter expression in Escherichia coli expression systems is used to express recombinant Pfupol; however, this method is not cost-effective.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA DNA polymerase from Thermus aquaticus remains the most popular among DNA polymerases. It was widely applied in various fields involving the application of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), implying the high commercial value of this enzyme. For this reason, an attempt to obtain a high yield of Taq DNA polymerase is continuously conducted.

Despite its potential to be employed in the detection of COVID-19, using commercially available enzymes is not economically feasible. The use of noncommercial enzyme for routine use is desirable.
