Exploring the methylotrophic yeast Ogataea polymorpha as a production platform for valuable chemicals from C1 compounds

Building a sustainable society requires moving beyond the linear produce-use-waste model reliant on fossil resources. A circular bioeconomy using CO2-derived one carbon (C1) molecules as feedstocks could be a potential alternative. This work explores the methylotrophic yeast Ogataea polymorpha as a production platform for the conversion of the C1 molecules methanol and formate into industrially relevant low molecular weight biochemicals.
