Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 7, Page 1877-1933, July 2025.
Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.

Novel TORC1 inhibitor Ecl1 is regulated by phosphorylation in fission yeast

Aging Cell, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2025.
Extender of chronological lifespan 1 (Ecl1), which inhibits the target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1), physically interacts with TORC1 subunits and is necessary for appropriate cellular responses to various stressors, such as starvation, in fission yeast. Several functions of Ecl1 are suppressed by Thr7 phosphorylation when nutrients are abundant.

Model‐Driven Engineering of Yarrowia lipolytica for Improved Microbial Oil Production

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 3, March 2025.
The Design‐Build‐Test‐Learn approach was followed to identify and overcome bottlenecks in lipid biosynthesis in Y. lipolytica. We systematically intertwined the predictions from the metabolic model with addressed bottlenecks, investigated the effect of genetic interventions and medium supplements on lipid content, and ultimately defined an efficient ...

Microbial and insect oils: A sustainable approach to functional lipid

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, Volume 102, Issue 1, Page 5-33, January 2025.
Abstract The increasing global population, coupled with the effects of climate change on agricultural activities has spurred a demand for sustainable food production to meet human needs. In response to this, there has been a growing interest in sustainable food production initiatives. One of such initiatives is harnessing microbial and insect lipids as

Identification of novel genes in the carotenogenic and oleaginous yeast Rhodotorula toruloides through genome-wide insertional mutagenesis

BMC Microbiology, 2018
Background Rhodotorula toruloides is an outstanding producer of lipids and carotenoids. Currently, information on the key metabolic pathways and their molecular basis of regulation remains scarce, severely limiting efforts to engineer it as an industrial

Phylogenetic Diversity and Extracellular Enzymatic Activities of Yeasts and Yeast‐Like Fungi Isolated From Qualea grandiflora (Vochysiaceae) in Cerrado Areas in Northern Minas Gerais, Brazil

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The Brazilian savannah, Cerrado, a Brazilian phytophysiognomy, is an entire biome that contains as well as other Brazilian ecosystems, a vast biodiversity of microorganisms associated with native plants. Plant species of the Cerrado have attracted attention due to the still limited knowledge regarding their associated microbiota and the possible ...

Development, optimization, and application of an episomal plasmid system for Rhodotorula toruloides

Metabolic Engineering
Rhodotorula toruloides is an emerging oleaginous yeast with strong potential as a microbial cell factory for the production of acetyl-CoA-derived bioproducts. However, engineering of this organism has been limited by the absence of a functional episomal plasmid system, a foundational genetic tool for rapid gene expression, pathway testing, and CRISPR ...

Integration of plant and microbial oil processing at oilcane biorefineries for more sustainable biofuel production

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2024.
A detailed biorefinery model grounded on experimental findings was developed for integrated processing of both oilcane plant and microbial oils to produce biodiesel. Rigorous techno‐economic and life cycle analyses were employed to determine the technological bottlenecks of oilcane and microbial oil production and elucidate critical targets for market ...
