Oleaginicity of the yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae D5A [PDF]
Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2018 Background The model yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is not known to be oleaginous. However, an industrial wild-type strain, D5A, was shown to accumulate over 20% storage lipids from glucose when growth is nitrogen-limited compared to no more than 7 ...

Genome Sequence Analysis of the Oleaginous Yeast, Rhodotorula diobovata, and Comparison of the Carotenogenic and Oleaginous Pathway Genes and Gene Products with Other Oleaginous Yeasts [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2021 Rhodotorula diobovata is an oleaginous and carotenogenic yeast, useful for diverse biotechnological applications. To understand the molecular basis of its potential applications, the genome was sequenced using the Illumina MiSeq and Ion Torrent platforms, assembled by AbySS, and annotated using the JGI annotation pipeline. The genome size, 21.1 MB, was

Carnitine acetyltransferase activity in oleaginous yeasts [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1985 The highest activities of carnitine acetyltransferase (CAT) were found in non-oleaginous yeasts (Candida utilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae); lower activities, ranging from 50% down to 3% of the highest values, were found in various strains of oleaginous yeasts (Candida curvata, Lipomyces starkeyi, Rhodosporidium toruloides and Trichosporon cutaneum).

Oleaginous yeasts from Ethiopia [PDF]
AMB Express, 2016 Oleaginous microorganisms can produce high amounts of oil (>20 % of their biomass) under suitable cultivation conditions. In this research work 200 samples were collected from soil, plant surfaces (leaves, flowers and fruits), waste oils from traditional oil milling houses and dairy products (cheese, milk and yoghurt) in Ethiopia.

Isolation and Characterization of Oleaginous Yeast
International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences, 2023 Oleaginous yeast are known to synthesize and accumulate large amount of intracellular triacylglycerol. Hence, they are considered to be one of the most promising alternate sources for oil production. In this regard, the present study was undertaken to isolate, characterize and screen oleaginous yeast for biomass and lipid production.

Oleaginous yeast as a component in fish feed [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractThis study investigates the replacement of vegetable oil (VO) in aquaculture feed for Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) with oil produced by the oleaginous yeast Lipomyces starkeyi grown in lignocellulose (wheat straw) hydrolysate. VO is extensively used to partially replace fish oil in aquaculture feed, which can be seen as non-sustainable.

Oleaginous Red Yeasts: Concomitant Producers of Triacylglycerides and Carotenoids
Encyclopedia, 2023 Oleaginous red yeast species are colourful (usually having orange-pink-red hues) single cell microorganisms capable of producing valuable bioproducts including triacylglycerides (TAGs) for biodiesel and carotenoids for nutraceuticals.

Fatty alcohols production by oleaginous yeast [PDF]
Journal of Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2015 Abstract We have engineered Rhodosporidium toruloides to produce fatty alcohols by expressing a fatty acyl-CoA reductase from Marinobacter aquaeolei VT8. Production of fatty alcohols in flasks was achieved in different fermentation media at titers ranging from 0.2 to 2 g/L.
