Loss of a Functional Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier in <i>Komagataella phaffii</i> Does Not Improve Lactic Acid Production from Glycerol in Aerobic Cultivation

Cytosolic pyruvate is an essential metabolite in lactic acid production during microbial fermentation. However, under aerobiosis, pyruvate is transported to the mitochondrial matrix by the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) and oxidized in cell respiration. Previous reports using <i>Saccharo...
