Integrating Experimental and Computational Analyses of Yeast Protein Profiles for Optimizing the Production of High-Quality Microbial Proteins.

Microbial proteins represent a promising solution to address the escalating global demand for protein, particularly in regions with limited arable land. Yeasts, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, are robust and safe protein-producing strains. However, the utilization of non-conventional yeast strains for microbial protein production has been hindered, partly due to a lack of comprehensive understanding of protein production traits.

Nitroplasts suggest the creation of artificial nitrogen-fixing eukaryotes.

It is believed that nitrogen-fixing eukaryotes do not exist in nature, and constructing such eukaryotes is extremely challenging. Coale et al., however, have identified the first eukaryote capable of fixing nitrogen through a nitroplast organelle.
