Abstract excerpt
Ornithine is a nonproteinogenic amino acid with various health benefits, making it a promising target for functional food development. In this study, we developed the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains with elevated intracellular ornithine and identified the genetic mutation responsible for this trait. An ornithine-rich mutant was successfully isolated by chemical mutagenesis and selection for resistance to...
