Single cell assessment of yeast metabolic engineering for enhanced lipid production using Raman and AFM-IR imaging

Abstract Background Biodiesel is a valuable renewable fuel made from derivatized fatty acids produced in plants, animals, and oleaginous microbes. Of the latter, yeasts are of special interest due to their wide use in biotechnology, ability to synthesize fatty acids and store large amounts of triacy...
