The yeast Pichia pastoris is a convenient production system that enables expression of heterologous proteins in high amounts. As a fermentation method, shaking flasks are very popular because of their simplicity of handling and their low cost. We compared the expression level of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase in a transformed strain of P. pastoris grown in different flasks, presenting various designs but all with the same volume. A several-thousand-fold difference appeared in the expression levels; and the results could not be explained by differences between the flasks in the oxygenation of the medium. The data show that flask design is an important factor to consider for optimising fermentation processes.
This study revealed that MIH is a common condition (16.9%). Molars were more frequently affected than incisors with mild defects were the most common lesion status. Further studies on this defect amongst Malaysian children are worthwhile.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
