Improving the lipid accumulation properties of the yeast cells for biodiesel production using molasses

Evaluation of lipid biosynthesis ability by Rhodotorula and Sporobolomyces strains in medium with glycerol

“…Similarly, a higher share of C18:3 in lipids of R. mucilaginosa was noted by Ahmad et al [2]. In the lipids of the same species, Kataray and Domnez [23] determined only 6.5 % of linoleic acid among all PUFA.…”

Improving microbial oil production with standard and native oleaginous yeasts by using Taguchi design

“…The widespread use of fossil fuels such as petroleum, coal and natural gas, which is related to the high energy demand of today's industrialized world, raises the pollution problem; so it is necessary to develop renewable energy sources such as biodiesel (Dai et al 2007;Karatay and Donmez 2010). Biodiesels are fatty acid methyl and ethyl esters derived from renewable lipid sources, and these fuels are good alternatives for fossil fuel because of being renewable, biodegradable and nontoxic (Zlatanov et al 2001;Meng et al 2009;Karatay and Donmez 2010;Liu et al 2010;Kosa and Ragauskas 2011;Chatzifragkou et al 2011).…”

The high cost of biodiesel is the major obstacle for its commercialization.…”

“…Use of waste oil and other cheap raw materials can reduce the cost of the process. Microbial oil has potential for application in biodiesel production, because it has great similarity in structure and fatty acid composition to the vegetable oil (Karatay and Donmez 2010;Fei et al 2010). The advantages of microbial lipid are short life cycle of microorganisms, less labor required, less affection by season and climate, and easier to scale-up (Li et al 2008;Amaretti et al 2010).…”

Use of Wastewaters from Ethanol Distilleries and Glycerol Mixtures for Microbial Oils Production

“…This amount is probably related to the adaptability of these genus to many ecosystems [12]. The capacity of these genus to produce lipids has been previously reported by several researchers [13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. …”
