Exploring fatty alcohol-producing capability of Yarrowia lipolytica
BACKGROUND Fatty alcohols are important oleochemicals widely used in detergents, surfactants and personal care products. Bio-synthesized fatty alcohol provides a promising alternative to traditional fatty alcohol industry. Harnessing oleaginous microorganisms for fatty alcohol production may offer a new strategy to achieve a commercially viable yield that currently still seems to be a remote ta...
متن کاملFatty alcohol production in Lipomyces starkeyi and Yarrowia lipolytica
BACKGROUND Current biological pathways to produce biofuel intermediates amenable to separations and catalytic upgrading to hydrocarbon fuels are not cost effective. Previously, oleaginous yeasts have been investigated primarily for lipid production. However, yeasts store neutral lipids intracellularly making recovery difficult and expensive. In addition, once recovered from the cells, lipids ar...
متن کاملEngineering of a high lipid producing Yarrowia lipolytica strain.
BACKGROUND Microbial lipids are produced by many oleaginous organisms including the well-characterized yeast Yarrowia lipolytica, which can be engineered for increased lipid yield by up-regulation of the lipid biosynthetic pathway and down-regulation or deletion of competing pathways. RESULTS We describe a strain engineering strategy centered on diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGA) gene overe...
متن کاملUnraveling fatty acid transport and activation mechanisms in Yarrowia lipolytica.
Fatty acid (FA) transport and activation have been extensively studied in the model yeast species Saccharomyces cerevisiae but have rarely been examined in oleaginous yeasts, such as Yarrowia lipolytica. Because the latter begins to be used in biodiesel production, understanding its FA transport and activation mechanisms is essential. We found that Y. lipolytica has FA transport and activation ...
متن کاملYarrowia lipolytica in Biotechnological Applications
The nonconventional yeast Yarrowia lipolytica has been developed as a versatile and attractive tool for a large variety of biotechnological applications. This yeast has several physiological properties with industrial significance. Y. lipolytica uses hydrophobic substrates such as n-alkanes, oils, fats, and fatty acids as low-cost carbon sources. The yeast is able to produce a set of diverse ad...
