Extracellular production of glycosylated products

Abstract

This disclosure is in the technical field of synthetic biology and metabolic engineering. More particularly, this disclosure is in the technical field of fermentation of metabolically engineered yeast or fungal cells. This disclosure describes a method for the extracellular production of a di- or oligosaccharide that is derived from UDP-GlcNAc by a yeast or fungal cell as well as the separation of the di- or oligosaccharide from the cultivation. Furthermore, this disclosure provides a metabolically engineered yeast or fungal cell for extracellular production of a di- or oligosaccharide that is derived from UDP-GlcNAc and that is synthesized in the cytosol.
