Background: Oleaginous yeasts can be grown on different carbon sources, including lignocellulosic hydrolysate containing a mixture of glucose and xylose. However, not all yeast strains can utilize both the sugars for lipogenesis. Therefore, in this study,

Lipid Turnover in Oleaginous Yeasts [PDF]
SUMMARY: When eight strains of the oleaginous yeasts Candida curvata, Lipomyces starkeyi, Rhodosporidium toruloides and Trichosporon cutaneum were starved of carbon after having accumulated lipid up to 34% of their biomass, the lipid was readily converted to new biomass in all cases except the two strains of L. starkeyi. When C.

Selection of oleaginous yeasts for fatty acid production [PDF]
Oleaginous yeast species are an alternative for the production of lipids or triacylglycerides (TAGs). These yeasts are usually non-pathogenic and able to store TAGs ranging from 20 % to 70 % of their cell mass depending on culture conditions. TAGs originating from oleaginous yeasts can be used as the so-called second generation biofuels, which are ...

Eighteen new oleaginous yeast species
Abstract Of 1600 known species of yeasts, about 70 are known to be oleaginous, defined as being able to accumulate over 20 % intracellular lipids. These yeasts have value for fundamental and applied research. A survey of yeasts from the Phaff Yeast Culture Collection, University of California Davis was performed to identify additional ...

Consolidated bioprocessing using oleaginous yeast is a promising modality for the economic conversion of plant biomass to fuels and chemicals. However, yeast are not known to produce effective biomass degrading enzymes naturally and this trait is ...

The cell wall of the oleaginous yeast Trichosporon cutaneum [PDF]
The cell wall of Trichosporon cutaneum consists of 11% protein, 63% neutral carbohydrate, 9% glucosamine and 13% glucuronic acid. The sugars include glucose (32%), mannose (6%) and traces of xylose and galactose. The cell wall was fractionated with alkali to yield a mixture of alkali-soluble matrix components, and an alkali-insoluble glucan associated ...

Engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the accumulation of high amounts of triacylglycerol
Background Fatty acid-based substances play an important role in many products, from food supplements to pharmaceutical products and biofuels. The production of fatty acids, mainly in their esterified form as triacylglycerol (TAG), has been intensively ...
