The Impact of Methanol Concentration on Recombinant Protein Glycosylation in Pichia pastoris SuperMan5.
Article in Microbial biotechnology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris (also known as Komagataella phaffii) is a prominent platform for recombinant protein production, offering benefits such as thermo- and osmotolerance, high-density growth, and efficient protein secretion. Its ability to metabolise methanol, an increasingly available carbon source, enhances its cost-effectiveness and sustainability for industrial use. As a eukaryotic host, P. pastoris ensures proper protein folding and post-translational modifications (PTMs), including glycosylation, which is essential for correct folding and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) quality control. While ER-transferred glycans are critical for maturation, additional modification in the Golgi apparatus can yield larger glycans whose impact on stability, solubility, and bioactivity may be either beneficial or undesirable, depending on the application of the heterologous protein. The impact of induction conditions on glycosylation of proteins secreted by P. pastoris SuperMan5 was examined, using the DS-1 (G2P[4]) and WA (G1P[8]) VP8* rotavirus capsid proteins as a model. An ELISA-based screening system was employed for clone selection and media optimization, with results showing easy integration into automated workflows. Methanol concentration was found to impact both N- and O-linked glycosylation complexity, shaping the glycosylation profile of the target protein as well as the P. pastoris secretome. This study underscores the importance of optimising cultivation conditions to enhance protein yield, refine glycosylation, and minimise impurities, all of which are crucial for large-scale production and efficient downstream processing. It also suggests a method for easy modulation of glycosylation depending on the target application and the desired level of glycosylation.
