A genetic screen to identify mutants that can increase flux in the isoprenoid pathway of yeast has been lacking. We describe a carotenoid-based visual screen built with the core carotenogenic enzymes from the red yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides.

A multi-omic map of the lipid-producing yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides [PDF]
Triacylglycerols are among the most attractive alternative raw materials for biofuel development. Current oil plant-based technologies are limited in terms of triacylglycerol production capacity and rate. These limitations may be circumvented by biotransformation of carbohydrates into lipids; however, our understanding of microbial oleaginicity remains

Dynamics of the lipid droplet proteome of the Oleaginous yeast rhodosporidium toruloides. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Lipid droplets (LDs) are ubiquitous organelles that serve as a neutral lipid reservoir and a hub for lipid metabolism. Manipulating LD formation, evolution, and mobilization in oleaginous species may lead to the production of fatty acid-derived biofuels and chemicals.

Urea: obligate intermediate of pyrimidine-ring catabolism in Rhodosporidium toruloides [PDF]
Urea has been shown to be an obligate intermediate in and the penultimate product of the catabolism of pyrimidine-ring nitrogen in Rhodosporidium toruloides (Rhodotorula). One of a series of mutants selected for its inability to utilize uracil as a sole source of nitrogen was unable to utilize urea also.

Morphological change in the early stages of the mating process of Rhodosporidium toruloides [PDF]
The events which occur in the early stages of the mating process of the yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides between strains M-919 (mating type A) and M-1057 (mating type a) were investigated. In preliminary experiments we determined the frequency of mating by two newly designed methods: the liquid culture method and the membrane-filter microculture method.

Comprehensive analysis of a metabolic model for lipid production in Rhodosporidium toruloides
The yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides has been extensively studied for its application in biolipid production. The knowledge of its metabolism capabilities and the application of constraint-based flux analysis methodology provide useful information for process prediction and optimization.

Scotty: lattice coincidences for macromolecular crystallographic phasing
Scotty is a tool that leverages Niggli‐cell matches to identify similar crystallographic lattices and perform phasing with difference Fourier methods.When a macromolecular crystal lattice targeted for study is closely related to a previously studied crystal lattice, phasing the target crystal by difference (fast‐)Fourier transform (DFFT) methods is ...
