The history, state of the art and future prospects for oleaginous yeast research

Microbial Cell Factories, 2021
Lipid-based biofuels, such as biodiesel and hydroprocessed esters, are a central part of the global initiative to reduce the environmental impact of the transport sector. The vast majority of production is currently from first-generation feedstocks, such

Eighteen new oleaginous yeast species

Journal of Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2016
Abstract Of 1600 known species of yeasts, about 70 are known to be oleaginous, defined as being able to accumulate over 20 % intracellular lipids. These yeasts have value for fundamental and applied research. A survey of yeasts from the Phaff Yeast Culture Collection, University of California Davis was performed to identify additional ...

The cell wall of the oleaginous yeast Trichosporon cutaneum [PDF]

Journal of General Microbiology, 1993
The cell wall of Trichosporon cutaneum consists of 11% protein, 63% neutral carbohydrate, 9% glucosamine and 13% glucuronic acid. The sugars include glucose (32%), mannose (6%) and traces of xylose and galactose. The cell wall was fractionated with alkali to yield a mixture of alkali-soluble matrix components, and an alkali-insoluble glucan associated ...

Co-production of ethanol and biodiesel from sweet sorghum juice in two consecutive fermentation steps

Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2019
Background: Sugars from sweet sorghum stalks can be used to produce ethanol and also to grow oleaginous yeasts. Instead of two separate processes, in this paper we propose a different route producing ethanol and microbial oil in two consecutive ...

Oleaginicity of the yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae D5A [PDF]

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2018
The model yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is not known to be oleaginous. However, an industrial wild-type strain, D5A, was shown to accumulate over 20% storage lipids from glucose when growth is nitrogen-limited compared to no more than 7% lipid accumulation without nitrogen stress.To elucidate the mechanisms of S.

Exploitation of Oleaginous Yeasts for the Production of Microbial Oils from Agricultural Biomass

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2014
Lignocellulosic wastes from Arundo donax (AR) and Sorghum bicolor (SB) were used as a source of fermentable sugars for culturing the oleaginous yeasts Lipomyces starkey. In order to minimize the generation of inhibitors of the microbial growth, that is a

Isolation, molecular identification of lipid-producing Rhodotorula diobovata: optimization of lipid accumulation for biodiesel production

Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Background The increased demand for oil and fats to satisfy the ever-increasing human needs has enhanced the research in this field. Single-cell oils or microbial lipids produced by oleaginous microorganisms are being utilized as an alternative to ...

Recent Advances in using Lipomyces starkeyi for the Production of Single-Cell Oil

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2023
The clean energy demand and limited fossil fuel reserves require an alternate source that is sustainable and eco-friendly. This demand for clean energy steered the introduction of biofuels such as bioethanol and biodiesel.

A Comparative Study of Citrate Efflux from Mitochondria of Oleaginous and Non‐oleaginous Yeasts [PDF]

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1983
Citrate efflux from mitochondria of 10 different yeasts was investigated. Isolated mitochondria of all the yeasts show the possession of a carrier system for dicarboxylic and tricarboxylic anions, phosphate and pyruvate. The tricarboxylate carrier is also specific for l‐malate in all 10 yeasts.
