Journal ArticleDOI
Harnessing Yarrowia lipolytica lipogenesis to create a platform for lipid and biofuel production.

TL;DR: A thorough genotypic and phenotypic optimization of an oleaginous organism to create a strain with significant lipogenesis capability is reported, which advances fundamental understanding of lipogenesis, and non-canonical environmental and intracellular stimuli are demonstrated and uncouple lipogenesis from nitrogen starvation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterologous production of pentane in the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica.
TL;DR: This work represents the first-ever microbial production of pentane and demonstrates that short chain n-alkane synthesis is conceivable in model cellular hosts and the potential pliability of Y. lipolytica toward the biosynthetic production of value-added molecules from its generous fatty acid reserves.
