Engineering Yarrowia lipolytica to enhance lipid production from lignocellulosic materials

Abstract Background Yarrowia lipolytica is a common biotechnological chassis for the production of lipids, which are the preferred feedstock for the production of fuels and chemicals. To reduce the cost of microbial lipid production, inexpensive carbon sources must be used, such as lignocellulosic h...
