Enzymatic extraction of Spirulina biomass for the cultivation of the oleaginous yeast Lipomyces starkeyi

Applied Phycology
Microalgae and oleaginous yeasts are emerging as promising biofuel sources. Microalgae fix carbon dioxide through photosynthesis and can contribute to oil production, whereas oleaginous yeasts, though dependent on external nutrients, yield higher amounts

Genome sequence of the oleaginous yeast Rhodotorula toruloides strain CGMCC 2.1609

Genomics Data, 2017
Most eukaryotic oleaginous species are yeasts and among them the basidiomycete red yeast, Rhodotorula (Rhodosporidium) toruloides (Pucciniomycotina) is known to produce high quantities of lipids when grown in nitrogen-limiting media, and has potential ...

Symbiotic Associations: Key Factors That Determine Physiology and Lipid Accumulation in Oleaginous Microorganisms

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Symbiosis naturally provides an opportunity for microorganisms to live together by mutual or one-way benefit. In symbiotic relationships, the microorganisms usually overcome the limitations of being free-living.

Rethinking plastic waste: innovations in enzymatic breakdown of oil‐based polyesters and bioplastics

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Plastic pollution remains a critical environmental challenge, and current mechanical and chemical recycling methods are insufficient to achieve a fully circular economy. This review highlights recent breakthroughs in the enzymatic depolymerization of both oil‐derived polyesters and bioplastics, including high‐throughput protein engineering, de novo ...

Oleaginous yeasts isolated from traditional fermented foods and beverages of Manipur and Mizoram, India, as a potent source of microbial lipids for biodiesel production

Annals of Microbiology, 2020
Purpose Oleaginous yeasts can accumulate intracellular lipid bodies or triacylglycerides (TAGs) under nutrient limiting conditions. TAGs derived from those yeast strains are considered as an alternative to conventional plant-based oils for biodiesel ...

Engineering triacylglycerol production from sugars in oleaginous yeasts

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2020
Oleaginous yeasts natively produce surplus triacylglycerol lipid and can be engineered for higher yield and productivity. Most enzymatic steps of triacylglycerol production are characterized, but key parts of the pathway remain unknown. This introduces uncertainty to metabolic engineering strategy and the upper limit of achievable lipid yield. Here, we
