The need for protein production has been growing over the years in various industries. We here present a high-throughput screening strategy to isolate high producer budding yeast clones from a mutagenized cell population using gel microdrop (GMD) technology. We use a microfluidic water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion method to produce monodisperse GMDs and a microfluidic cell sorter for damage-free sorting of GMDs by fluorescently quantifying secreted proteins. As a result, this high-throughput GMD screening method effectively selects high producer clones and improves protein production up to five-fold. We speculate that this screening strategy can be applied, in principle, to select any types of high producer cells (bacterial, fungal, mammalian, etc.) which produce arbitrary target protein as it does not depend on enzymes to be produced.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
