Unlock Pichia: High-Level Methanol-Free Protein Production in Pichia pastoris

Pichia pastoris (Komagataella phaffii) is recognized as a highly competitive expression system for fast and economic production of recombinant proteins. Pichia offers many advantages. It is an established (FDA and EMA approved), safe (generally recognized as safe, GRAS), and highly competitive expression host with strong and effective secretory capacities often resulting in double-digit grams-per-liter product levels in culture supernatant. It combines advantageous properties of prokaryotes and mammalian cells. On one hand, Pichia cultures grow fast and can reach high cell…
