Improving Methanol Utilization by Reducing Alcohol Oxidase Activity and Adding Co-Substrate of Sodium Citrate in <i>Pichia pastoris</i> by Shufan Liu, Haofan Dong, Kai Hong, Jiao Meng, Liangcai Lin, Xin Wu

“…Therefore, reducing the toxicity of formaldehyde to cells remains a challenge to the engineering design of a methanol metabolism. Based on genome-scale metabolic models (GSMM) calculations, we speculated that reducing alcohol oxidase (AOX) activity would re-construct the carbon metabolic flow and promote balance between the assimilation and dissimilation of formaldehyde metabolism processes, thereby increasing the biomass formation of <i>P. pastoris</i>. …”
