Overexpression of the riboflavin biosynthetic pathway in Pichia pastoris
Abstract Background High cell density cultures of Pichia pastoris grown on methanol tend to develop yellow colored supernatants, attributed to the release of free flavins.The potential of P.pastoris for flavin overproduction is therefore given, but not pronounced when the yeast is grown on glucose.The aim of this study is to characterize the relati
Late Recurrence of Benign Multicystic Peritoneal Mesothelioma Complicated with an Incisional Hernia
