Summary
Short peptides not only play crucial roles in living organisms, but these biomolecules are also important for different industrial markets. Although they have many benefits, there is a downside, since current chemical and biological production techniques are environmentally unfriendly and costly – especially in large quantities. Therefore, the Austrian Centre of Industrial Biotechnology (acib), and particularly the working group of Dr. Anita Emmerstorfer-Augustin focus on the engineering of biotechnological production hosts such as Pichia pastoris. The goal is to enable a more sustainable production of peptides to meet the demands of the pharma, cosmetic and food industries.
