Engineering Rhodosporidium toruloides for increased lipid production

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 2015
ABSTRACTOleaginous yeast are promising organisms for the production of lipid‐based chemicals and fuels from simple sugars. In this work, we explored Rhodosporidium toruloides for the production of lipid‐based products. This oleaginous yeast natively produces lipids at high titers and can grow on glucose and xylose.

Phosphate-limitation mediated lipid production by Rhodosporidium toruloides

Bioresource Technology, 2010
Nitrogen-limited conditions have been routinely prepared for efficient lipid production by oleaginous microorganisms. However, it is difficult to attain high cellular lipid contents with natural nitrogen-rich substrates. In the present study, we showed that lipid accumulation by Rhodosporidium toruloides Y4 was directly linked to the carbon to ...

Exogenous glucosylglycerol and proline extend the chronological lifespan of Rhodosporidium toruloides

International Microbiology, 2023
Glucosylglycerol (GG) is an osmolyte found in a few bacteria (e.g., cyanobacteria) and plants grown in harsh environments. GG protects microbes and plants from salinity and desiccation stress. In the industry, GG is synthesized from a combination of ADP-glucose and glycerol-3-phosphate in a condensation reaction catalyzed by glucosylglycerol phosphate ...

Compositional profiles of Rhodosporidium toruloides cells under nutrient limitation

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2017
Lipid production by the red yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides was explored under nutrient limitation. To determine the compositional profiles of R. toruloides cells, samples were prepared using a continuous cultivation process under nutrient limitation and analyzed via several methods, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and elemental ...

Potential of Rhodosporidium toruloides for Fatty Acids Production Using Lignocellulose Biomass

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2023
Microbial lipids are ideal for developing liquid biofuels because of their sustainability and no dependence on food crops. Especially the bioprocess for microbial lipids may be made economical by using sustainable approaches, e.g., lignocellulose-based carbon sources.

Comparative proteomic analysis of Rhodosporidium toruloides during lipid accumulation

Yeast, 2009
AbstractIntracellular lipid accumulation is a common biological process for some eukaryotic microorganisms under specific growth conditions, yet study on this phenomenon at an ‘‐omics’ level remains rare. In this study we induced lipid accumulation by the oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides by transferring cells into a nitrogen‐limited medium ...

Biosynthesis of lipids by Rhodosporidium toruloides ATCC 10788

Journal of Biotechnology, 1988
Abstract The limiting amount of nitrogen required to trigger lipid accumulation in the oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides ATCC 10788 was studied, batchwise, by subjecting washed mid-exponentially grown cells to nitrogen at levels of 10−2 M down to 10−4 M per g l−1 of lean cells (2–5% fat content) in a mineral medium where glucose was present ...

Some ultrastructural features ofRhodosporidium toruloides Banno

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 1972
A 21-day subculture ofRhodosporidium toruloides Banno produced septate mycelium with hook-shaped cells over many septa. In the light microscope these hook-shaped cells appeared to be clamp connections; this feature might suggest thatR. toruloides belongs to the basidiomycetes.

Kinetics of continuous cultivation of the oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides

Journal of Biotechnology, 2013
Microbial lipids are potential alternative feedstock for biofuel and oleochemical industries. The oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides AS 2.1389 is an excellent lipid producer. To attain parameters for the understanding of the lipid production process, we performed continuous cultivation experiments under either carbon or nitrogen limitation. The

Microbial lipid production by Rhodosporidium toruloides under sulfate-limited conditions

Bioresource Technology, 2011
Novel biochemical approaches remain to be developed to improve microbial lipid technology. This study demonstrated that sulfate limitation was effective to promote accumulating substantial amounts of intracellular lipid by the oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides Y4.
