Recent Advances in using Lipomyces starkeyi for the Production of Single-Cell Oil

The clean energy demand and limited fossil fuel reserves require an alternate source that is sustainable eco-friendly. This for steered the introduction of biofuels such as bioethanol biodiesel. third-generation biodiesel promising it surpasses difficulties associated with food security land usage. comprises derived from oil produced by oleaginous microbes. term refers to microbes ability accumulate lipids about 20% biomass found in form triacylglycerols. Yeasts can be grown easily on a commercial scale are amenable modifications increase single-cell (SCO) productivity. yeast L. starkeyi potential lipid producer up 70% SCO its cell dry weight under optimum conditions. Compared other organisms, wide range feedstock good part converted review presents recent advances production L strategies analyzed.
