In addition the cell's essential functions are maintained under stress conditions like high salinity, heat or aridity stress. Hansenula polymorpha was engineered to catalyze the transformation of monomeric substrates to 5-hydroxyectoine. For this purpose four genes encoding the enzymes of the 5-hydroxyectoine biosynthesis pathway of Halomonas elongata, EctA, EctB, EctC, and EctD, were inserted into the genome of H. polymorpha. Subsequently the syntheses of ectoine and 5-hydroxyectoine were analyzed and optimized. We showed that H. polymorpha is a suitable system for recombinant 5-hydroxyectoine synthesis in gram per liter scale (2.8 g L⁻¹ culture supernatant, 365 μmol/g dcw) in which almost 100\% conversion of ectoine to 5-hydroxyectoine without necessity of high salinity were achieved.}, language = {en} } @article{EilertHollenbergPionteketal.2012, author = {Eilert, Eva and Hollenberg, Cornelis P. and Piontek, Michael and Suckow, Manfred}, title = {The use of highly expressed FTH1 as carrier protein for cytosolic targeting in Hansenula polymorpha}, series = {Journal of biotechnology}, volume = {159}, journal = {Journal of biotechnology}, number = {3}, publisher = {Elsevier}, doi = {10.1016/j.jbiotec.2011.12.014}, pages = {172 -- 176}, year = {2012}, abstract = {The iron storage protein ferritin is a member of the non-heme iron protein family. It can store and release iron, therefore it prevents the cell from damage caused by iron-dioxygen reactions as well as it provides iron for biological processing. To study whether the human ferritin heavy chain (FTH1) can be expressed in Hansenula polymorpha, we integrated an expression cassette for FTH1 and analyzed the protein expression. We found very efficient expression of FTH1 and obtained yields up to 1.9 g/L under non-optimized conditions. Based on this result we designed a FTH1-PTH fusion protein to successfully express the parathyroid hormone fragment 1-34 (PTH) for the first time intracellular in H. polymorpha.}, language = {en} } @misc{KraemerSvetlichnyEilert2017, author = {Kraemer, Marco and Svetlichny, Vitaly and Eilert, Eva}, title = {Method for producing a fermentation product: Angemeldet durch DIREVO Industrial Biotechnology GmbH}, organization = {DIREVO Industrial Biotechnology GmbH}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Priorit{\"a}tsdaten: EP15191039A·2015-10-22; US201562245054P·2015-10-22 Bibliographische IPC: C12P7/06; C12P7/14;}, language = {en} } @misc{EilertSuckowPiontek2014, author = {Eilert, Eva and Suckow, Manfred and Piontek, Michael}, title = {A method for producing ectoine or a derivative thereof and a yeast cell for use as a host cell in such a method}, organization = {Artes Biotechnology GmbH}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Klassifikationen IPC C12N15/81; C12N15/82; C12P17/12; C12P7/42; CPC C12N15/815 (EP); C12P17/12 (EP);}, language = {en} }
