- Abstract
- The artificial gene coding for anticoagulant hirudin was placed under the control of the GAL 10 promoter and expressed in the galactokinase-deficient strain (Δgal1) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which uses galactose only as a gratuitous inducer in order to avoid its consumption. For efficient production of recombinant hirudin, a carbon source other than galactose should be provided in the medium to support growth of the Δgal1 strain. Here we demonstrate the successful use of glucose in the fed-batch fermentation of the Δgal1 strain to achieve efficient production of recombinant hirudin, with a yield of up to 400 mg hirudin/L. ©KSBB.
