An extended definition of the term metabolic engineering is given and its successful use in the construction of biorecognition elements of sensors is demonstrated. It is shown that genetic and chemical modifications of methylotrophic yeast cells provide directed changes in their physiological responses towards methanol, ethanol and formaldehyde resulting in enhanced selectivity and shorter time response of the corresponding potentiometric and amperometric biosensors.

Cells of the methylotrophic yeast Ogataea parapolymorpha have two genes encoding low-affinity phosphate transporters: PHO87, encoding the plasma membrane transporter, and PHO91, encoding a protein, which is homologous to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae vacuolar membrane transporter. Earlier, we reported that inactivation of PHO91 in O. parapolymorpha interferes with methanol utilization due to the lack of activity of methanol oxidase encoded by the MOX gene.

Background: Currently, efficient technologies producing useful chemicals from alternative carbon resources, such as methanol, to replace petroleum are in demand. The methanol-utilizing yeast, Komagataella phaffii, is a promising microorganism to produce chemicals from methanol using environment-friendly microbial processes. In this study, to achieve efficient D-lactic acid production from methanol, we investigated a combination of D-lactate dehydrogenase (D-LDH) genes and promoters in K.

Methanol, as a non-edible feedstock, offers a promising sustainable alternative to sugar-based substrates in biochemical production. Despite progress in engineering methanol assimilation in nonmethylotrophs, the full transformation into methanol-dependent synthetic methylotrophs remains a formidable challenge. Here, moving beyond the conventional rational design principle, we engineered a synthetic methylotrophic through genome rearrangement and adaptive laboratory evolution.

Methylotrophic yeast is a useful host for producing heterologous proteins using the unique and strong alcohol oxidase 1 (AOX1) promoter, which is induced by methanol and repressed by various carbon sources. However, methanol is preferably avoided in industrial-scale fermentation given its toxicity, flammability, and explosiveness. To develop a protein production system under reduced methanol supply conditions, we attempted to characterize the AOX1 promoter induction activity by comparing derepression conditions with methanol induction conditions.
