Abstract:The dimorphic yeastYarrowia lipolyticapossesses an excellent ability to utilizen-alkane as a sole carbon and energy source. Although there are detailed studies on the enzymes that catalyze the reactions in the metabolic processes ofn-alkane inY. lipolytica, the molecular mechanism underlying the incorporation ofn-alkane into the cells remains to be elucidated. BecauseY. lipolyticaadsorbsn-alkane, we postulated thatY. lipolyticaincorporatesn-alkane through direct interaction with it. We isolated and characteriz… Show more
