Production of omega-3 eicosapentaenoic acid by metabolic engineering of Yarrowia lipolytica

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
Inactivation of the peroxisome biogenesis gene PEX10 was crucial in obtaining high EPA yields and may increase the yields of other commercially desirable lipid-related products and provides a sustainable source of EPA.
Abstract
Metabolic engineering of the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica greatly enhances yields of omega-3 eicosapentaenoic acid.

High contents of very long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in different moss species

TL;DR: High amounts of very long-chain (vl) PUFAs such as arachidonic acid (AA) in seven moss species are reported on, showing that vlPUFAs are highly abundant metabolites in mosses.

Development and physiological characterization of cellobiose‐consuming Yarrowia lipolytica

TL;DR: This study created a Y. lipolytica strain capable of utilizing cellobiose as a sole carbon source by using endogenous promoters to express the cellodextrin transporter cdt‐1 and intracellular β‐glucosidase gh1‐1 from Neurospora crassa and applied it to produce citric acid from bioconversion of crystalline cellulose through simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF).

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) production by an oleaginous fungus Mortierella alpina expressing heterologous the Δ17‐desaturase gene under ordinary temperature

TL;DR: This study investigates EPA production at an ordinary temperature (28°C) by expressing the Saprolegnia diclina Δ17 desaturase gene (sdd17m) in M. alpina, and provides a platform technology for the industrial production of EPA using M.Alpina as a promising source for EPA.

Microbial conversion of xylose into useful bioproducts

TL;DR: D-xylose may provide a better feedstock for the production of bioproducts other than ethanol, because the relevant pathways are not subject to glucose-dependent repression.

Genome evolution in yeasts

TL;DR: Analysis of chromosome maps and genome redundancies reveal that the different yeast lineages have evolved through a marked interplay between several distinct molecular mechanisms, including tandem gene repeat formation, segmental duplication, a massive genome duplication and extensive gene loss.

Production of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids by Polyketide Synthases in Both Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes

TL;DR: In this article, pathways for PUFA synthesis are described that do not require desaturation and elongation of saturated fatty acids and are catalyzed by polyketide synthases (PKSs).
