Yarrowia lipolytica Strains and Their Biotechnological Applications: How Natural Biodiversity and Metabolic Engineering Could Contribute to Cell Factories Improvement

Yarrowia 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...

Yarrowia lipolytica and Its Multiple Applications in the Biotechnological Industry

Yarrowia lipolytica is a nonpathogenic dimorphic aerobic yeast that stands out due to its ability to grow in hydrophobic environments. This property allowed this yeast to develop an ability to metabolize triglycerides and fatty acids as carbon sources. This feature enables using this species in the bioremediation of environments contaminated with oil spill. In addition, Y. lipolytica has been c...

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...
