Recombinant protein production in Pichia typically relies on AOX1 promoter-driven expression using methanol for induction. However, some companies avoid methanol due to safety concerns or operational demands. VALIDOGEN's unique AOX1 promoter variants enable methanol-free protein production at high space-time yields, offering advantages beyond safety. Latest case studies underscore the strength of this technology.
