Frutalin, a galactose-specific lectin used to detect specific tumour markers, is a protein with low expression level in breadfruit. In the present study, fed-batch fermentation in a stirred tank bioreactor was used as a strategy to enhance protein production by a recombinant Pichia pastoris KM71H. By using this process, the production of recombinant frutalin was 4-fold higher than the value obtained in shaker f...
Pichia pastoris is a methylotrophic yeast that can be genetically engineered to express proteins for industrial use. One of the most important advantages of protein expression in P. pastoris is its capability of growing on minimal medium and efficiently secreting heterologous proteins with low secretion levels of endogenous proteins. Operational variables such as pH, temperature, stirring rate, among others, us...
