Increase of Candida antarctica lipase B production under PGK promoter in Pichia pastoris: effect of multicopies.

The effect of gene dosage on the production of Candida antarctica lipase B (CalB) in the methylotrophic yeast Komagataella phaffii, at high densities in a simple medium containing crude glycerin as the sole carbon source, is described. The use of crude glycerin, the main by-product of biodiesel production from vegetable oils, will reduce the production cost of the bioprocess. Two K.
