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 or engineered collagen. The yeast strains are engineered to produce ascorbate and/or increased production of α ketoglutarate.
Claims11
