Efficient production of itaconic acid from the single carbon substrate methanol with engineered Komagataella phaffii

This study engineers Komagataella phaffii to produce itaconic acid from methanol, achieving titers of 55 g/L and a yield of 0.24 g/g.

A native phosphoglycolate salvage pathway of the synthetic autotrophic yeast Komagataella phaffii

The paper identifies a native phosphoglycolate salvage pathway in Komagataella phaffii that recycles 2-phosphoglycolate, similar to plant pathways, and suggests it can enhance autotrophic growth.
