Salt-enhanced surface display in the halotolerant yeast Debaryomyces hansenii
The halo-, xero-, and osmotolerant oleaginous yeast Debaryomyces hansenii can grow in extreme environments, with some isolates tolerating up to 4 M NaCl. As such, it could serve as a robust microbial chassis for non-sterile biotechnological processes based on seawater or saline side streams. However, its biotechnological toolbox lacks key genetic tools, particularly for inducible expression,…
