Dear board I am currently working with the expression of antimicrobial peptides (AMP) in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris using methanol as inducer, but I was wondering what other expression systems (most likely yeasts) that may be optimal for peptide production in general assuming there ...

... at the araO1 operator site helps to activate expression of the PBAD promoter. First what is a PC promoter? They go on to explain: araI is also the inducer site. Transcription starts at the initiator (araI). AraC bound at this site can simultaneously bind to the araO2 site to repress transcription ...
