Role of diacylglycerol kinase in autophagy, ER biogenesis, and triterpene metabolism
Autophagy Reports, 2022 Saccharomyces cerevisiae is widely used for producing various triterpenes by exploiting its native mevalonate/ergosterol pathway. Yeasts that accumulate phospholipids can produce more triterpenes.
