Lipid production by oleaginous yeasts

2021
Microbial lipid production has been studied extensively for years; however, lipid metabolic engineering in many of the extraordinarily high lipid-accumulating yeasts was impeded by inadequate understanding of the metabolic pathways including regulatory mechanisms defining their oleaginicity and the limited genetic tools available.

Oily yeasts as oleaginous cell factories

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2011
Oily yeasts have been described to be able to accumulate lipids up to 20% of their cellular dry weight. These yeasts represent a minor proportion of the total yeast population, and only 5% of them have been reported as able to accumulate more than 25% of lipids. The oily yeast genera include Yarrowia, Candida, Rhodotorula, Rhodosporidium, Cryptococcus,

Oleaginous yeast for biofuel and oleochemical production

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2019
Current transportation fuels derived from petroleum can also be made from microbial systems. In particular, oleaginous yeast have naturally evolved high flux pathways for fatty acids in the form of neutral lipids, which can be converted into a variety of drop-in fuels. Here, we describe the recent advances in the use of the four most popular oleaginous

Insights into oleaginous phenotype of the yeast Papiliotrema laurentii

Fungal Genetics and Biology, 2020
Oleaginous yeasts have stood out due to their ability to accumulate oil, which can be used for fatty acid-derived biofuel production. Papiliotrema laurentii UFV-1 is capable of starting the lipid accumulation in the late exponential growth phase and achieves maximum lipid content at 48 h of growth; it is, therefore, interesting to study how its ...

Lipid metabolism of the oleaginous yeast Lipomyces starkeyi

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2020
The oleaginous yeast Lipomyces starkeyi is an excellent sustainable lipid producer, which can convert industrial wastes into lipids and accumulate triacylglycerols (TAG) by > 70% of its dry cell weight. Recent studies using omics technologies applied in L.

Lipid biosynthesis in oleaginous yeasts

1989
With the increasing demands for fats and oils for edible and industrial purposes, many assessments have been made to find new possible lipid sources other than from the conventional plants and animals. Lipids from microbial origin could represent such an alternative since microorganisms can store up to 65% fat in the cells and can be harvested in a ...

Red Oleaginous Yeast: Powerhouse of Basidiomycetes

2022
Oleaginous red yeast belongs to the group basidiomycetes. The oleaginous yeast(s) of genus Rhodosporidium/ Rhodutorula is a single-cell mono or di-morphic, teleomorphic, and anamorphic yeast that reproduce sexually and asexually. Numerous species from these “red yeast” generate industrial bioproducts such as lipids, carotenoids, enzymes, biosurfactants,

Fermentation of levoglucosan with oleaginous yeasts for lipid production

Bioresource Technology, 2013
This paper reports the production of lipids from non-hydrolyzed levoglucosan (LG) by oleaginous yeasts Rhodosporidium toruloides and Rhodotorula glutinis. Enzyme activity tests of LG kinases from both yeasts indicated that the phosphorylation pathway of LG to glucose-6-phosphate existed. The highest enzyme activity obtained for R.

Lipid accumulation by oleaginous and non-oleaginous yeast strains in nitrogen and phosphate limitation

Folia Microbiologica, 2016
We investigated the possibility of utilizing both oleaginous yeast species accumulating large amounts of lipids (Yarrowia lipolytica, Rhodotorula glutinis, Trichosporon cutaneum, Candida sp.) and traditional biotechnological non-oleaginous ones characterized by high biomass yield (Kluyveromyces polysporus, Torulaspora delbrueckii, Saccharomyces ...

Oleaginous Yeast Biology Elucidated With Comparative Transcriptomics

Biotechnology and Bioengineering
ABSTRACTExtremophilic yeasts have favorable metabolic and tolerance traits for biomanufacturing‐ like lipid biosynthesis, flavinogenesis, and halotolerance – yet the connection between these favorable phenotypes and strain genotype is not well understood. To this end, this study compares the phenotypes and gene expression patterns of biotechnologically
