Open AccessEffect of mcl-PHA synthesis in flax on plant mechanical properties and cell wall composition
The high demand for new biomaterials makes synthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) in plants an interesting and desirable achievement. Production of polymers in plants is an example of application of biotechn...

Uptake and Assimilation of Hydrophobic Substrates by the Oleaginous Yeast Yarrowia lipolytica
The transport of hydrophobic substrates such as fatty acids, triglycerides, and alkanes into a microbial cell has recently begun to receive interest by the scientific community, especially due to the potential...

Open AccessA metabolic engineering strategy for producing conjugated linoleic acids using the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica
Conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs) have been found to have beneficial effects on human health when used as dietary supplements. However, their availability is limited because pure, chemistry-based production is ...

Efficient homologous recombination with short length flanking fragments in Ku70 deficient Yarrowia lipolytica strains
In Yarrowia lipolytica, targeted gene replacement occurs only with long length (1 kb) homologous flanking fragments, as this yeast preferentially uses the non-homologous end-joining mechanism (NHEJ) for DNA repai...

Open AccessIdentification and characterization of DGA2, an acyltransferase of the DGAT1 acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase family in the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica. New insights into the storage lipid metabolism of oleaginous yeasts
Triacylglycerols (TAG) and steryl esters (SE) are the principal storage lipids in all eukaryotic cells. In yeasts, these storage lipids accumulate within special organelles known as lipid bodies (LB). In the l...

An overview of lipid metabolism in yeasts and its impact on biotechnological processes
High energy prices, depletion of crude oil supplies, and price imbalance created by the increasing demand of plant oils or animal fat for biodiesel and specific lipid derivatives such as lubricants, adhesives,...
