The authors discuss how they investigated harvesting leghemoglobin from the roots of soybeans but ultimately ended up using a species of yeast named Pichia pastoris as a "factory" for producing the leghemoglobin protein. Briefly explain the steps (recall genetic engineering) they would have had to take to use this yeast to produce the leghemoglobin protein (note that the yeast does not normally produce this protein).
