Microorganisms are known to be natural oil producers in their cellular compartments.
Microorganisms that accumulate more than 20% w/w of lipids on a cell dry weight basis are …

Current energy security and climate change policies encourage the development and
utilization of bioenergy. Oleaginous yeasts provide a particularly attractive platform for the …

Harnessing lipogenic pathways and rewiring acyl-CoA and acyl-ACP (acyl carrier protein)
metabolism in Yarrowia lipolytica hold great potential for cost-efficient production of diesel …

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 …

Conversion of carbohydrates to lipids at high yield and productivity is essential for cost-
effective production of renewable biodiesel. Although some microorganisms can convert …

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

With the depletion of global petroleum and its increasing price, biodiesel has been
becoming one of the most promising biofuels for global fuels market. Researchers exploit …

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 …
