Fungal cultures isolated from oil-polluted sea water near Mumbai, India have been studied
for their capability to degrade crude oil. A yeast isolate identified as Yarrowia lipolytica was …

Among oil-degrading microorganisms isolated from oil-polluted industrial areas, one yeast
strain showed high degradation activity of aliphatic hydrocarbons. From the analyses of 18S …

Among six crude oil-degrading yeasts that were isolated from an oil-polluted area in the
Persian Gulf, two yeast strains showed high degradation activity of aliphatic hydrocarbons …

Yarrowia lipolytica is able to metabolize high Mr hydrophobic natural compounds such as
fatty acids and hydrocarbons. Characteristically, strains of Y. lipolytica can grow as …

Crude oil degradation by a strain of Yarrowia lipolytica isolated from a chronically oil
contaminated tropical marine estuary was studied in free and immobilized form. The strain …

The morphogenetic behavior of a tropical marine Yarrowia lipolytica strain on hydrophobic
substrates was studied. Media containing coconut oil or palm kernel oil (rich in lauric and …

Yarrowia lipolytica is a unique, strictly aerobic yeast with the ability to degrade efficiently
hydrophobic substrates. In the present work, we evaluated the degrading potential of …

An oil-degrading yeast, Yarrowia lipolytica 180, exhibits interesting cell surface
characteristics under the growth on hydrocarbons. An electron microscopic study revealed …

Yarrowia lipolytica is a nonpathogenic dimorphic aerobic yeast that stands out due to its
ability to grow in hydrophobic environments. This property allowed this yeast to develop an …

Yarrowia lipolytica is a fungus that degrades hydrophobic substrates very efficiently. Due to
its ability, Yarrowia lipolytica strains have been focus of bioremediation studies, being used …
