Abstract:A new biomanufacturing platform combining intracellular metabolic engineering of the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica and extracellular bioreaction engineering provides efficient bioconversion of plant oils/animal fats into high‐value products. However, predicting the hydrodynamics and mass transfer parameters is difficult due to the high agitation and sparging required to create dispersed oil droplets in an aqueous medium for efficient yeast fermentation. In the current study, commercial computational flu… Show more
