Production of recombinant VP1-derived virus-like particles from novel human polyomaviruses in yeast.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Dissolved oxygen tension (DOT) is hardly constant and homogenously distributed in a bioreactor, which can have a negative impact in the metabolism and product synthesis. However, the effects of DOT on plasmid DNA (pDNA) production and quality have not been thoroughly investigated. In the present study, the e...
