Screening of intact yeasts and cell extracts to reduce Scrapie prions during biotransformation of food waste

Abstract Yeasts can be used to convert organic food wastes to protein-rich animal feed in order to recapture nutrients. However, the reuse of animal-derived waste poses a risk for the transmission of infectious prions that can cause neurodegeneration and fatality in humans and animals. The aim of th...
