Abstract
Gene inactivation efficiency ranged from 65 to 98% for the HIS4 gene across different sgRNA variants.
- Two recipient strains, K. phaffii VKPM Y-5013 and K. phaffii VKPM Y-5014, were derived from a high-expression parent strain.
- Markerless producers of heterologous proteins were achieved using these recipient strains.
- The recipient strains maintained the growth characteristics of the parent strain while showing high expression potential.
- Average productivity of transformants from K. phaffii VKPM Y-5013 and K. phaffii VKPM Y-5014 was 2.1 and 2.0 times higher than that of the commercial K. phaffii GS115 strain.
- A method for the sequential integration of genetic material into the genome of K. phaffii VKPM Y-5013 was proposed.
- A multicopy markerless strain producing phytase from Citrobacter gillenii was successfully developed.
