Strong promoter is an essential factor for production of recombinant protein in various expression systems including Bacillus subtilis. In this study, we described a strategy to improve the expression efficiency using synthetic double promoter. Assembly of the conserved elements from 蟽B- and 蟽A-dependent promoters constitutively improved the yield of recombinant protein approximately 2–3-fold in both exponential and stationary growth phase. The synergistic effect in the double promoter was observed only when 蟽B-promoter was located upstream to 蟽A-promoter but independent to its orientation. A conserved element in either −10 or −35 box of 蟽B-promoter is sufficient to promote the synergism. Hence, this simple strategy of promoter engineering could be an effective way to generate a pool of strong constitutive promoters applicable for heterologous protein expression in B. subtilis in the future.
