1-dodecanol as potential inducer for the FAO1 promoter (PFAO1) in morphologically identified Meyerozyma guilliermondii strain SO

Alcohol oxidase (AOX) oxidizes alcohols to produce carbonyl compounds and peroxides. Its promoter (PAOX1) is widely used in methylotrophic yeasts. A promising yeast expression system (Pichia sp. strain SO) was developed for bacterial lipase expression regulated by PAOX1 of Komagataella phaffii (prev...
