1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

With the reduction in oil reserves and steady increases in the price of oil, alternative carbon sources like methanol are promising, but an efficient conversion process to fuels and other chemicals is still desired. In this study, we demonstrated for the first time the production of lactic acid from methanol using a lactate dehydrogenase copy number amplifying strategy in Pichia pastoris. We engineered methylotrophic yeast (Pichia pastoris) producing D-lactic acid by D-lactate dehydrogenase gene (d-LDH) integration into the non-transcribed spacer of the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) locus and post-transformational amplification. The resultant engineered strains GS115/S8/Z3 and GS115/S16/Z3 produced 3.48 and 3.26 g/L of D-lactic acid from methanol, respectively, in a 96-h test tube fermentation. To our knowledge, this is the first report about D-lactic acid production from methanol by an engineered P. pastoris strain. The technique of gene integration into the rDNA locus and post-transformational gene amplification could be useful for metabolic engineering in P. pastoris, and the chemical production from methanol by engineered P. pastoris represents a promising industrial technology.
