The nonconventional, oleaginous yeast, Yarrowia lipolytica is rapidly emerging as a
valuable host for the production of a variety of both lipid and nonlipid chemical products …

Many saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons in fuels and their derivate pose
considerable hazards to biological receptors due to the formation of toxic and carcinogenic …

Microbial remediation has proven to be an effective technique for the cleanup of crude-oil
contaminated sites. However, limited information exists on the dynamics involved in defined …

Among four crude oil-degrading fungi strains that were isolated from a petroleum-polluted
area in the Rumaila oil field, two fungi strains showed high activity in aliphatic hydrocarbon …

This paper aims to present the advances related to the biotechnological application of
lipases Y. lipolytica, presenting their properties and more efficient ways to use them in …

Petroleum pollution inevitably occurs at any stage of oil production and exerts a negative
impact on the environment. Some microorganisms can degrade petroleum hydrocarbons …

The escalating challenge of waste disposal and the potential threat to global energy supply
have sparked renewed interest in repurposing waste materials for the production of …

Due to its physiological and enzymatic features, Yarrowia lipolytica produces several
valuable compounds from a wide range of substrates. Appointed by some authors as an …

Background Yarrowia lipolytica is one of the most studied “non-conventional” yeasts. Due to
its intrinsic biological characteristics and variability, the potential applications of wild type …

Biosurfactants are surface active materials that are produced by some microorganisms.
These molecules increase biodegradation of insoluble pollutants. In this study sediments …
