Microbial and insect oils: A sustainable approach to functional lipid

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, Volume 102, Issue 1, Page 5-33, January 2025.
Abstract The increasing global population, coupled with the effects of climate change on agricultural activities has spurred a demand for sustainable food production to meet human needs. In response to this, there has been a growing interest in sustainable food production initiatives. One of such initiatives is harnessing microbial and insect lipids as

Perspectives on non-neoformans cryptococcal opportunistic infections

Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives, 2017
Non-neoformans Cryptococcus species, including C. laurentii and C. albidus, have historically been classified as exclusively saprophytic. However, recent studies have increasingly implicated these organisms as the causative agent of opportunistic ...

Quorum Sensing-Mediated, Cell Density-Dependent Regulation of Growth and Virulence in Cryptococcus neoformans

mBio, 2014
Quorum sensing (QS) is a cell density-dependent mechanism of communication between microorganisms, characterized by the release of signaling molecules that affect microbial metabolism and gene expression in a synchronized way.

Combination of Two‐Stage Continuous Feeding and Optimized Synthetic Medium Increases Lipid Production in Lipomyces starkeyi

Engineering in Life Sciences, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT The oleaginous yeast Lipomyces starkeyi is recognized for its remarkable lipid accumulation under nitrogen‐limited conditions. However, precise control of microbial lipid production in L. starkeyi remains challenging due to the complexity of nutrient media.

Waste cooking oil and molasses for the sustainable production of extracellular lipase by Saitozyma flava

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, Volume 71, Issue 4, Page 712-720, August 2024.
Abstract Organic waste valorization is one of the principal goals of the circular economy. Bioprocesses offer a promising approach to achieve this goal by employing microorganisms to convert organic feedstocks into high value products through their metabolic activities.

International Biological Flora: Ceratonia siliqua

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 8, Page 1885-1922, August 2024.
The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua) has a long traditional history in Mediterranean cultures providing food for humans and domestic animals. Its remarkable tolerance of drought, salt and fire, with an ability to thrive in poor, dry soils, makes it ideal for a warming Mediterranean climate.

Economic and environmental bottlenecks in the industrial‐scale production of lipid‐derived biofuels from oleaginous yeasts: A review of the current trends and future prospects

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2024.
Plant‐derived lipids are promising sources of biofuels; however, the production of plant oils often leads to the release of massive amounts of carbon dioxide due to deforestation and land‐use change. The production of biofuels via plant oils (such as soybean) also competes with food production and in turn, impacts biodiversity. To mitigate these issues,

Isolation and molecular characterization of Cryptococcus species isolated from pigeon nests and Eucalyptus trees

Current Medical Mycology, 2017
Background and Purpose: Cryptococcus species are pathogenic and non-pathogenic basidiomycete yeasts that are found widely in the environment. Based on phenotypic methods, this genus has many species; however, its taxonomy is presently being re- evaluated
