Rhodosporidium toruloides: a new platform organism for conversion of lignocellulose into terpene biofuels and bioproducts
BACKGROUND Economical conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into biofuels and bioproducts is central to the establishment of a robust bioeconomy. This requires a conversion host that is able to both efficiently assimilate the major lignocellulose-derived carbon sources and divert their metabolites toward specific bioproducts. RESULTS In this study, the carotenogenic yeast Rhodosporidium torul...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of a cephalosporin esterase from Rhodosporidium toruloides.
A novel cephalosporin esterase (EC 3.1.1.41) from Rhodosporidium toruloides was purified to gel electrophoretic homogeneity. The enzyme is a glycoprotein with a molecular mass of 80 kDa. Upon deglycosylation, several forms of the enzyme were observed with a molecular mass range between 60 and 66 kDa. The isoelectric point of the enzyme is approximately 5.6, with the pH optimum for activity occu...
متن کاملThe Production, Regulation and Extraction of Carotenoids from Rhodosporidium toruloides
Carotenoids are valuable pigments of commercial interest for various health benefits. There is rising demand for natural carotenoids from microorganisms, although the majority of industrially produced carotenoids are currently chemically synthesized. Rhodosporidium toruloides is oleaginous red yeast, which can produce large amounts of carotenoids and lipids simultaneously. It is also able to as...
متن کاملGreen biofuels and bioproducts: bases for sustainability analysis
Currently, the chemical industry is largely petroleum based and although the number of ongoing large-scale biocatalytic processes is relatively low, a trend in growth is expected and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and other agencies aim to have 30% of the total chemical industry based on renewable sources by 2050 (Philp et al., 2013). At present, a good number ...
متن کاملImproved lignocellulose conversion to biofuels with thermophilic bacteria and thermostable enzymes.
Second-generation feedstock, especially nonfood lignocellulosic biomass is a potential source for biofuel production. Cost-intensive physical, chemical, biological pretreatment operations and slow enzymatic hydrolysis make the overall process of lignocellulosic conversion into biofuels less economical than available fossil fuels. Lignocellulose conversions carried out at ≤ 50 °C have several li...
