Abstract Background Rhodosporidium strain , a well-known oleaginous yeast, has been widely used as platform for lipid and carotenoid production. However, the production of squalene application in lipid-based biofuels is not reported this strain. Here, new sp. was isolated identified, its potential investigated under various cultivation conditions. Results In present study, DR37 from mangrove ec...

Over the last few decades, efforts to transition global production of fuels and chemicals toward renewable carbon feedstocks have accelerated. A large portion these focused on valorization one most abundant sources, lignocellulose. Pretreatment lignocellulose is first critical step in this process. In study, novel ionic liquid (IL) systems consisting multiple ions known be effective at biomass ...

Abstract Lipids produced by oleaginous yeasts are considered as sustainable sources for the production of biofuels and oleochemicals. The red yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides can accumulate lipids to over 70% its dry cell mass. To facilitate lipid extraction, a recombinant β-1,3-glucomannanase, MAN5C, has been applied partially breakdown R. wall. In this study, NP11 was engineered secretory expr...
