Functional genomics for the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica

Metabolic Engineering, 2018
Oleaginous yeasts are valuable systems for biosustainable production of hydrocarbon-based chemicals. Yarrowia lipolytica is one of the best characterized of these yeast with respect to genome annotation and flux analysis of metabolic processes. Nonetheless, progress is hampered by a dearth of genome-wide tools enabling functional genomics.

Systematically Engineering for Efficient Production of 3‐Methyl‐1‐Butanol in Escherichia coli

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An integrated metabolic engineering strategy was established for high‐level 3‐methyl‐1‐butanol biosynthesis in Escherichia coli. Molecular dynamics‐guided semi‐rational engineering of dihydroxyacid dehydratase uncovered and relieved key catalytic bottlenecks, while adaptive laboratory evolution enhanced strain robustness.

Yeast-Mediated Biomass Valorization for Biofuel Production: A Literature Review

Fermentation, 2023
The European Union has recommended that about 10–50% of the global energy requirement should be supplemented by waste biomass resources by 2050 in order to achieve the objective of having net-zero-emission economies.

Multi‐Targeting Non‐Specific Genome Engineering in Bacteria

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, we provide the first case to use the multi‐targeting integrase (MTI) systems in bacteria and develop a host‐independent generalizable approach, MNGE (Multi‐targeting Non‐specific Genome Engineering), for multi‐copy and random integration of metabolic genes or pathways in both Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria, which will ...

Comparison of Nitrogen Depletion and Repletion on Lipid Production in Yeast and Fungal Species

Energies, 2016
Although it is well known that low nitrogen stimulates lipid accumulation, especially for algae and some oleaginous yeast, few studies have been conducted in fungal species, especially on the impact of different nitrogen deficiency strategies.

Combining Electrochemical Reduction with Biosynthesis for Directed Conversion of CO2 into a Library of C3 Chemicals

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In the H‐type electrolytic cell, carbon dioxide is reduced to acetic acid via electro‐microbial catalysis. The simply processed acetic acid is further converted through biological fermentation into high‐value‐added products, including acrylic acid, L‐lactic acid, and β‐alanine.

Nitrogen limitation causes a seismic shift in redox state and phosphorylation of proteins implicated in carbon flux and lipidome remodeling in Rhodotorula toruloides

Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts
Background Oleaginous yeast are prodigious producers of oleochemicals, offering alternative and secure sources for applications in foodstuff, skincare, biofuels, and bioplastics. Nitrogen starvation is the primary strategy used to induce oil accumulation

Simultaneous lipid production for biodiesel feedstock and decontamination of sago processing wastewater using Candida tropicalis ASY2

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2020
Background Without sufficient alternatives to crude oil, as demand continues to rise, the global economy will undergo a drastic decline as oil prices explode.

A Novel GmSIN1‐GmRNF1a‐GmCSN5a Module Determines Soybean Salt Tolerance and Yield Under Saline Soil Conditions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Soybean production is severely threatened by salt stress. This study reveals that the GmSIN1‐GmRNF1a‐GmCSN5a module enhances salt tolerance by stabilizing the GmSIN1 protein. GmRNF1a acts as an E3 ligase to ubiquitinate GmSIN1 for degradation, a process inhibited by GmCSN5a.

Bioconversion of agro-industrial carbon wastes into biodiesel feedstocks with superior fuel properties by promising oleaginous yeasts and cultivation strategies

Carbon Resources Conversion
Oleaginous yeasts hold significant potential as biodiesel feedstocks as they accumulate high content of lipids with similar fatty acid profiles to those of plant oils.
