Recombinant proteins produced by different host organisms have been broadly used as therapeutics. Considering the demand for large quantities of protein drugs, methods are needed to increase reactor titers in a timely and cost-effective manner. We used random chemical mutagenesis to modify a wild-type strain of the heterologous protein production host Pichia pastoris, which resulted in overall improvement of the secretion rate of the mutated population. More than 4000 single-cells were simultaneously screened for high secretion of a human Fc fragment using microengraving and the top-producing clones were retrieved. Future characterization of these improved clones by transcript profiling should yield information about networks of genes central in heterologous protein secretion in the yeast P. pastoris.
