Engineered yeast Yarrowia lipolytica as a chassis for biosynthesis of fatty acids from mannitol and macroalgal biomass extracts
The results of this study shed new light on the potential for the yeast Y. lipolytica to utilize macroalgae biomass as a carbon source for production of value-added products, including biomass and lipids. Moreover, the increased mannitol utilization capabilities can provide new insight into mannitol metabolism, including its uptake, which is especially crucial, as the metabolic pathways for all polyols produced by this organism seem to be closely intertwined.
