Oleaginous yeasts from Ethiopia. [PDF]
AMB Express, 2016 Oleaginous microorganisms can produce high amounts of oil (>20 % of their biomass) under suitable cultivation conditions. In this research work 200 samples were collected from soil, plant surfaces (leaves, flowers and fruits), waste oils from traditional oil milling houses and dairy products (cheese, milk and yoghurt) in Ethiopia.

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 ...

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.

Isolation of the Oleaginous Yeasts from the Soil and Studies of Their Lipid-Producing Capacities [PDF]
Food Technology and Biotechnology, 2009 D-xylose is one of the most abundant pentose sugars in nature. To isolate oleaginous yeasts that can utilize xylose from diverse soil samples, soils from a litchi orchard, longan orchard, carambola orchard, and woods were collected, yeasts were isolated ...

Aspects of lipid metabolism in oleaginous yeasts [PDF]
, 1986 1. Phosphoketolase StudiesPentulose 5-phosphate phosphoketolase (Pu5PPPK) was shown to be induced in nine yeasts grown on xylose. The enzyme was active with both xylulose 5-phosphate (Xu5P) and ribulose 5-phosphate (Ru5P) as assay substrate.

Genome Sequence Analysis of the Oleaginous Yeast, Rhodotorula diobovata, and Comparison of the Carotenogenic and Oleaginous Pathway Genes and Gene Products with Other Oleaginous Yeasts. [PDF]
J Fungi (Basel), 2021 Rhodotorula diobovata is an oleaginous and carotenogenic yeast, useful for diverse biotechnological applications. To understand the molecular basis of its potential applications, the genome was sequenced using the Illumina MiSeq and Ion Torrent platforms, assembled by AbySS, and annotated using the JGI annotation pipeline. The genome size, 21.1 MB, was

Microbial Lipid Production with Oleaginous Yeasts [PDF]
, 2014 Oleaginous microorganisms are able to convert carbon sources into storage lipids which are suited for diverse industrial applications as alternative for plant oil, fossil fuels and fish oil. A coupled process of oleaginous yeast and microalgae was performed to recycle the emitted greenhouse gas CO2 produced by the heterotrophic yeast.
