Lipid production in the under-characterized oleaginous yeasts, Rhodosporidium babjevae and Rhodosporidium diobovatum, from biodiesel-derived waste glycerol

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

“…These substrates may affect the growth and lipids synthesis by yeast. However, no negative effect on growth was observed for Rhodotorula strain when metabolizing biodiesel-derived glycerol, even when using a higher concentration of waste glycerol [29]. Regarding the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica, biomass density was practically unaffected when cultivated on nitrogen-limited media with crude glycerol utilized as substrate [32,33,36].…”

Production of technical-grade sodium citrate from glycerol-containing biodiesel waste by Yarrowia lipolytica

“…As for the inexpensive carbon sources, recent studies showed the promise of the biodiesel-derived waste glycerol for microbiological production of valuable metabolites. On the basis of this waste glycerol, researchers developed the method of production of 1,3-propanediol (Papanikolaou et al, 2008), ethanol (Liu et al, 2012), polyhydroxybutyrate (Mothes et al, 2007), biomass enriched in essential amino acids (Juszczyk et al, 2013), lipids (Dedyukhina et al, 2012;Munch et al, 2015), polyunsaturated fatty acids (Dedyukhina et al, 2014), erythritol (Miroń czuk et al, 2014, carbonic acids, in particular, propionic acid (Tufvesson et al, 2013), pyruvic acid (Morgunov et al, 2004), a-ketoglutaric acid (Yin et al, 2012;Otto et al, 2012), and citric acid (Rymowicz et al, 2006Förster et al, 2007;Holz et al, 2009;Kamzolova et al, 2011;Morgunov et al, 2013).…”

A Review on The Bioconversion of Lignin to Microbial Lipid with Oleaginous Rhodococcus opacus

“…Oleaginous bacterial accumulation of lipids for biofuel production from industrial waste is being studied extensively [41][42][43][44][45][46][47]. Transcriptomic and proteomic studies have also identified TAG biosynthetic genes and proteins [48][49][50][51][52][53].…”
