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 …

One of the most promising alternatives to petroleum for the production of fuels and
chemicals is bio-oil based chemistry. Microbial oils are gaining importance because they …

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 …

The alkane-assimilating yeast Yarrowia lipolytica degrades very efficiently hydrophobic
substrates such as n-alkanes, fatty acids, fats and oils for which it has specific metabolic …

Non-conventional yeasts have attracted increasing interest due to their biochemical
characteristics and potential applications. Yarrowia lipolytica is a non-conventional yeast …

The yeast Yarrowia lipolytica is a promising microbial host due to its native capacity to
produce lipid-based chemicals. Engineering stable production strains requires genomic …

ABSTRACT A genomic comparison of Yarrowia lipolytica and Saccharomyces cerevisiae
indicates that the metabolism of Y. lipolytica is oriented toward the glycerol pathway. To …

The production of heterologous proteins is a research field of high interest, with both
academic and commercial applications. Yeasts offer a number of advantages as host …

Within five years, the CRISPR-Cas system has emerged as the dominating tool for genome
engineering, while also changing the speed and efficiency of metabolic engineering in …

The oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica is known to inhabit various lipid-containing
environments. One of the most striking features in this yeast is the presence of several …
