Lipid Production by Microalgae Treating Municipal Wastewater
… much promise as a feedstock in liquid biofuel production. Lipid content of microalgae cells range from 30-80% dry weight of biomass. It is projected that microalgae can produce between 1,000-6,500 gallons/acre/year of oil. Currently, production of industrial algae operates in open raceway ponds …

Genetic engineering oleaginous yeasts for improved lipid production
Oleaginous yeasts are promising organisms for the production of lipid-based chemicals and fuels from simple sugars. We chose oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides for the production of lipid-based products, because this oleaginous yeast natively produces lipids at high titers and can grow on …

Metabolic engineering strategies for increasing lipid production in oleaginous yeast
… of rational metabolic engineering to improve lipid production in the non-conventional oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipoytica on two representative carbon sources, glucose and acetate. Previous work in this area achieved considerable success with the simultaneous overexpression of the native …

Characterization of botryococcus sp. and identification of carbohydrates metabolic related enzymes toward lipid production
… among which is low strain performance in lipid production. Alternatively, the carbohydrate production in microalgal cells could be manipulated to increase the lipid content thereby maximizing the overall biofuel production. This work is aimed at determining metabolic pathway and enzymes …

Mixing, mass transfer and energy analysis across bioreactor types in microalgal cultivation and lipid production
Microalgae are recognised as a source of lipids for bioenergy, nutrients and pharmaceuticals. Photobioreactors, closed vessels for microalgal cultivation, are known to have high energy consumption due to mixing and aeration. Sparging is commonly used for mixing and gas-liquid mass transfer in …

Development and use of a synthetic biology toolkit to enhance high value lipid production in Nannochloropsis oculata
… this issue though cellular and specifically lipid metabolic engineering; however, the use of established CRIPSR systems is prohibitively expensive. This MRes thesis aimed, therefore, to develop use of BEC10, a novel CRIPSR nuclease (BRAIN-Biotech AG), to gene edit the stramenopile alga …

Evaluation of the effect of growth conditions on lipid production by Papiliotrema laurentii UFV-1 in culture media containing xylose
… as a source of triacylglycerols in the biodiesel production. Nevertheless, its production from these oils competes with food production for both arable lands and water. In addition, the vegetable oil features are affected by climatic conditions. These drawbacks can be circumvented by using …

Genome scale metabolic modelling of Phaeodactylum tricornutum
… phytoplankton. Their ability to synthesise lipid as a storage compound (20%-50% dry cell weight) makes them a potential sources of biofuel and high-value commodities such as ω fatty acids. However, diatoms have unique features in their biochemistry as compared to higher plants and hence, …

NON-CONVENTIONAL YEASTS AS CELL FACTORIES: FROM FOOD WASTE TO ADDED-VALUE PRODUCTS.
… to efficiently support cell growth and microbial lipid production. In this study, the performances of two oleaginous yeast strains (Rhodosporidiobolus azoricus and Cutaneotrichosporon oleaginosum ATCC 20509) were compared. - Setting an efficient lipid production process employing C. oleaginosum …

DEVELOPING MOLECULAR TOOLS TO IMPROVE TERPENOIDS PRODUCTION IN RHODOSPORIDIUM TORULODIES
… considered high-yielding platform for terpenoids production due to their remarkable potentials for lipid production and their well-known roles as natural producers of lipid and carotenoids. We first investigated the putative strong promoters in Rhodosporidium. Among these, two strongest ones, …

The biochemistry of lipid accumulation in Mucor circinelloides and Mortierella alpina
1. The profile and biochemistry of growth and lipid accumulation in M. circinelloides and Mt. alpina were investigated. 2. A nitrogen-limited condition was vital in triggering lipid accumulation in both fungi, which was in agreement with previous work reported in oleaginous yeasts (Botham and …
