| abstract |
This invention relates to genetically engineered strains of yeast and methods for producing recombinant protein (e.g., collagen). Recombinant protein of the present invention is used to produce biofabricated leather or a material having leather-like properties containing recombinant 5 or engineered collagen. The yeast strains are engineered to produce ascorbate and/or increased production of a ketoglutarate. |
