Enhanced pyruvic acid yield in an osmotic stress-resistant mutant of Yarrowia lipolytica
Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2020 Background: Pyruvic acid (PA), a vital α-oxocarboxylic acid, plays an important role in energy and carbon metabolism. The oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica (Y. lipolytica) has considerable potential for the production of PA.

Selection of oleaginous yeasts for fatty acid production [PDF]
BMC Biotechnology, 2016 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 ...

Regulation of amino-acid metabolism controls flux to lipid accumulation in Yarrowia lipolytica [PDF]
, 2016 Yarrowia lipolytica is a promising microbial cell factory for the production of lipids to be used as fuels and chemicals, but there are few studies on regulation of its metabolism. Here we performed the first integrated data analysis of Y.

Enhanced Triacylglycerol Production With Genetically Modified Trichosporon oleaginosus
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) is important in the production of lipids in oleaginous yeast, but other yeast may bypass the mitochondria (PDH bypass), converting pyruvate in the cytosol to acetaldehyde, then acetate and acetyl CoA which is ...
