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

In Vivo Online Monitoring of Intracellular Lipid Accumulation in Ustilago maydis [PDF]
Engineering in Life SciencesSingle cell oils produced in microorganisms constitute appealing alternatives to plant oils. Oleaginous fungi accumulate triacylglycerols in lipid droplets (LD). Their biosynthesis is typically induced under nitrogen limitation.

Carnitine acetyltransferase activity in oleaginous yeasts [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1985 The highest activities of carnitine acetyltransferase (CAT) were found in non-oleaginous yeasts (Candida utilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae); lower activities, ranging from 50% down to 3% of the highest values, were found in various strains of oleaginous yeasts (Candida curvata, Lipomyces starkeyi, Rhodosporidium toruloides and Trichosporon cutaneum).

Oleaginous Red Yeasts: Concomitant Producers of Triacylglycerides and Carotenoids
Encyclopedia, 2023 Oleaginous red yeast species are colourful (usually having orange-pink-red hues) single cell microorganisms capable of producing valuable bioproducts including triacylglycerides (TAGs) for biodiesel and carotenoids for nutraceuticals.
