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 …
