Combinatorial Metabolic Engineering of Alkane Biosynthesis in the Osmotolerant Yeast Debaryomyces hansenii CBS 767

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Debaryomyces hansenii is a yeast with diverse potential applications like producing oleochemicals from biomass. Yet, combinatorial metabolic engineering in D. hansenii is limited because, like many nonconventional organisms, key genomic data and genetic elements are missing. Here, we report phenotypic characterization, genomic integration loci,
