Abstract: The thermotolerant methylotrophic yeast Hansenula polymorpha has been an important cell factory for the production of pharmaceutical proteins and enzyme preparation,but recently been also gaining interest as a promising host for the production of both bioethanol and efficacious components from medicinal plant. In this paper,some characteristics of H. polymorpha were outlined,and the progress in research on H.polymorpha as a microbiology cell factory was summarized. Finally,the prospective application of H.polymorpha to biotechnology research was discussed.

Key words: Hansenula polymorpha; biology characteristics; cell factory
