Enhanced co-production of extracellular biopolymers and intracellular lipids by Rhodotorula using lignocellulose hydrolysate and fish oil by-product urea
In conclusion, Rhodotorula yeasts demonstrate significant potential for microbial biorefineries due to their ability to efficiently convert diverse waste substrates into valuable biomaterials, including lipids and extracellular biopolymers. This study provides new insights into a potential metabolic switch in extracellular polymer biosynthesis, driven by Mn<sup>2+</sup> availability in the culture medium.
