Characterizing an engineered carotenoid-producing yeast as an anti-stress chassis for building cell factories

Abstract Background A microorganism engineered for non-native tasks may suffer stresses it never met before. Therefore, we examined whether a Kluyveromyces marxianus strain engineered with a carotenoid biosynthesis pathway can serve as an anti-stress chassis for building cell factories. Results Caro...
