Exploring the genetic expression of <i>Wickerhamomyces anomalus</i> during biosurfactant production from waste cooking oil
This study reveals, for the first time, the specific genetic pathways and metabolic adjustments that W. anomalus employs to produce biosurfactants from WCO. The increased expression of lipid metabolism enzymes and cell membrane components highlights a tailored adaptive mechanism for lipid-rich waste substrates, positioning W. anomalus as a promising candidate for sustainable biosurfactant production.
