“…It should be noted that production of CBE using microorganisms was very attractive. In the literature, research efforts have been carried out to advance the total saturated fatty acid content of yeast lipid including extensive strain screening (Pan et al, 2009), inhibition of D9 and D12 desaturase (Moreton, 1985), chemical mutagenesis or genetic engineering of the oleaginous yeast Apiotrichum curvatum (Hassan et al, 1993;Ykema et al, 1989;Ykema et al, 1990), cultivation of A. curvatum on lowoxygenated media (Davies et al, 1990) and supplement of stearin, a cheap donor of stearic acid, into the culture of the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica (Papanikolaou et al, 2001;Papanikolaou et al, 2003). Very recently, we also found that lipid sample produced from Nacetylglucosamine by Cryptococcus curvatus ATCC 20,509 at 22°C was appropriate as CBE (Wu et al, 2010b).…”
