Abstract excerpt
The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris is a popular host for the production of a variety of recombinant proteins. We describe the use of a novel selectable marker, the P. pastoris formaldehyde dehydrogenase gene (FLD1) for DNA-mediated transformations of this yeast. The product of the FLD1 gene (Fld1p) is required for growth of P. pastoris on methanol as a carbon source and methylamine as a nitrogen source. In...
