Elevating Limonene Production in Oleaginous Yeast Yarrowia lipolytica via Genetic Engineering of Limonene Biosynthesis Pathway and Optimization of Medium Composition

TL;DR: The engineered strain was found to produce 165.3 mg/L limonene, which corresponds to the highest yield till date for the production ofLimonene in Y. lipolytica, and amongst all the carbon sources tested, the highest level of limonenes production was obtained from glycerol, and citrate was selected as an auxiliary carbon source.

Isolation and characterization of novel mutations in the pSC101 origin that increase copy number

TL;DR: Multiple novel mutations that increase the copy number of plasmids with the pSC101 origin retained compatibility with p15a, pBBR, and ColE1 origins of replication and may be useful in future metabolic engineering efforts that require medium or high-copy vectors compatible with p 15a- and Col E1-based plasids.

Studies on transformation of Escherichia coli with plasmids

TL;DR: Competition with both transforming and non-transforming plasmids indicates that each cell is capable of taking up many DNA molecules, and that the establishment of a transformation event is neither helped nor hindered significantly by the presence of multiple plasmid molecules.
