Linoleic acid (LA) has garnered much attention due to its potential applications in the
oleochemical and nutraceutical industries. The oleaginous yeast Rhodotorula toruloides has
outstanding lipogenecity, and is considered a potential alternative to the current plant-based
platforms for LA production. Δ12-fatty acid desaturases (Δ12-Fads) are involved in LA
synthesis in various fungi and yeasts, but their functions in R. toruloides remain poorly
understood. To achieve the production of LA-rich lipids in R. toruloides, we investigated the …
