A system for converting waste organic material from an ethanol plant to high-protein, single-cell organism matter. The system includes first and second fermenters receiving waste organic material streams. A sterilizer is connected to the fermenters and is configured for sterilizing the output thereof.

A DNA sequence encoding Der p1 protein having a particular base sequence is codon-optimized for the Pichia pastoris expression system, which is conducive to expressing Der p1 in Pichia pastoris. After gene optimization and adding an activating element to increase the expression of Der p1 in molecular level, it was found that Der p1 is expressed at a higher level as compared with the prior art and has biological activity similar to the natural protein.

A novel method of growing fungi is disclosed which uses an engineered artificial media and produces high density filamentous fungi biomats that can be harvested with a minimum of processing and from which fungal products such as antibiotics, proteins, and lipids can be isolated, the method resulting in lowered fungus cultivation costs for energy usage, oxygenation, water usage and waste stream production.

The present disclosure provides engineered eukaryotic cells comprising a surface displayed catalytic domain of an endoglycosidase and methods of use.

The present invention provides a topical composition comprising an extract of Pichia anomala and n-acetyl glucosamine.

The invention discloses a high-secretion heat-resistant yeast genetically engineered strain and application thereof, belonging to the field of biotechnology. Mutagenesis and domestication are performed to obtain the yeast genetically engineered strain capable of expressing a lipase gene at a high secretion level at high temperature. The strain is collected by China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC), and the collection number is CCTCC NO: M 2016278. The sequencing analysis shows that the lipase gene and promoter sequence thereof are not mutated, which indicates that the high-secretion expression of the lipase gene by the mutant strain is caused by mutation of other gene sequences in the genome. By knocking out the lipase gene in homologous double-crossover way, the constructed knockout strain can be used as an expression host of other exogenous proteins, can be used for enhancing the expression level of other exogenous genes, and can be subjected to fermentation under high-temperature fermentation conditions.

A method for producing a cannabinoid by contacting cannabigerolic acid with a cannabinoid synthase orthologue. The cannabinoid synthase orthologue is from an organism other than Cannabis sativa. Also disclosed is a recombinant cell of Saccharomyces cerevisiae or Pichia pastoris that includes in its genome a nucleic acid encoding the above cannabinoid synthase orthologue. The cannabinoid synthase orthologue is expressed in the recombinant cell in an active form.
