Episode Synopsis

Flo8 knockout in Komagataella phaffii prevents pseudohyphal growth and reduces adherence. This study reveals it significantly elevates glucose-regulatable promoter activity, boosting recombinant protein yields up to 7-fold. This new host strain offers higher productivity per gene copy and improved process robustness for methanol-free bioproduction.Original Publication
