Hangzhou-BioX # Functional Vitamin B2-Enriched Bread to Help Mitigate Malnutrition # Vitamin B2 deficiency can lead to disorders of the mouth, skin, and genitalia. In China, the vitamin B2 deficiency rate is over 85%, but most people are not aware of it. To deal with it, we overexpressed GTP synthetase (ADE4) and vitamin B2 synthetases (RIB1 and RIB7) in the baker’s yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Bakeries can produce bread and mantou (Chinese steamed bun) by using our yeast at no extra cost, and supply vitamin B2-enriched food for the general public to mitigate malnutrition. ...

Wuhan-Hubei-China # Production of high protein straw feed by recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae # In the context of human and animal competition for food, the cost of food feed continues to rise. In addition, a lot of straw resources are wasted every year. We propose to convert straw into non-food feed to ease economic pressure on farmers and protect food security. Our project created a Saccharomyces cerevisiae that efficiently uses cellulose by fusing and expressing three cellulase genes, effectively converting cellulose into single-cell proteins. ...
