Lipid-based biofuels, such as biodiesel and hydroprocessed esters, are a central part of the
global initiative to reduce the environmental impact of the transport sector. The vast majority …

Among non-conventional yeasts of industrial interest, the dimorphic oleaginous yeast
Yarrowia lipolytica appears as one of the most attractive for a large range of white …

Production of biodiesel from edible plant oils is quickly expanding worldwide to fill a need for

In the first part of this review, the biochemistry of lipid accumulation in the oleaginous
microorganisms is depicted. Lipid biosynthesis form sugars and related substrates is a …

The yeast Yarrowialipolytica has developed very efficient mechanisms for breaking down
and using hydrophobic substrates. It is considered an oleaginous yeast, based on its ability …

The last years there has been a significant rise in the number of publications in the
international literature that deal with the production of lipids by microbial sources (the 'single …

During the past decade, there has been a paradigm shift in our understanding of the roles of
intracellular lipid droplets (LDs). New genetic, biochemical and imaging technologies have …
