Komagataella phaffii (aka Pichia pastoris) is a yeast able to grow in methanol as the sole carbon and energy source. This substrate converted into formaldehyde, toxic intermediary that can either be assimilated biomass or dissimilated CO2 through enzymes formaldehyde dehydrogenase (FLD) formate dehydrogenase, also producing form of NADH. The dissimilative pathway has been described an detoxifying route, but conclusive evidence not provided for this. In order elucidate this theory, we...

Abstract Pichia pastoris is a well‐established cell factory for recombinant protein synthesis. Various optimization strategies of processes based on AOX1 promoter have been investigated, including methanol co‐feeding with glycerol or sorbitol during the induction stage. Compared carbon sources, comparatively little research has devoted to effects nitrogen sources. Several reports described benefits adding casamino acids (CA) production medium, however, without considering its at gene...
