Metabolic engineering of oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica for limonene overproduction
BACKGROUND Limonene, a monocyclic monoterpene, is known for its using as an important precursor of many flavoring, pharmaceutical, and biodiesel products. Currently, d-limonene has been produced via fractionation from essential oils or as a byproduct of orange juice production, however, considering the increasing need for limonene and a certain amount of pesticides may exist in the limonene obt...
متن کاملEngineering Yarrowia lipolytica for Campesterol Overproduction
Campesterol is an important precursor for many sterol drugs, e.g. progesterone and hydrocortisone. In order to produce campesterol in Yarrowia lipolytica, C-22 desaturase encoding gene ERG5 was disrupted and the heterologous 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase (DHCR7) encoding gene was constitutively expressed. The codon-optimized DHCR7 from Rallus norvegicus, Oryza saliva and Xenapus laevis were ex...
متن کاملYarrowia lipolytica in Biotechnological Applications
The nonconventional yeast Yarrowia lipolytica has been developed as a versatile and attractive tool for a large variety of biotechnological applications. This yeast has several physiological properties with industrial significance. Y. lipolytica uses hydrophobic substrates such as n-alkanes, oils, fats, and fatty acids as low-cost carbon sources. The yeast is able to produce a set of diverse ad...
متن کاملEngineering of Yarrowia lipolytica for production of astaxanthin
Astaxanthin is a red-colored carotenoid, used as food and feed additive. Astaxanthin is mainly produced by chemical synthesis, however, the process is expensive and synthetic astaxanthin is not approved for human consumption. In this study, we engineered the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica for de novo production of astaxanthin by fermentation. First, we screened 12 different Y. lipolytica ...
متن کاملMetabolic Flexibility of Yarrowia lipolytica Growing on Glycerol
The yeast Yarrowia lipolytica is a fascinating microorganism with an amazing metabolic flexibility. This yeast grows very well on a wide variety of carbon sources from alkanes over lipids, to sugars and glycerol. Y. lipolytica accumulates a wide array of industrially relevant metabolites. It is very tolerant to many environmental factors, above all the pH value. It grows perfectly well over a w...
