RECOMBINANTLY ENGINEERED CELLS EXPRESSING CHLORITE DISMUTASE AND METHODS FOR USING SAME IN CELL CULTURE

摘要

The present disclosure relates to recombinantly engineered cells that contain a chlorite dismutase polypeptide and methods for culturing such cells in a culture medium containing chlorite in an amount sufficient to reduce the growth rate or kill contaminating microorganisms without killing the recombinantly engineered cells. Also provided are methods for the production of a fermentation product using the recombinantly engineered cells.
