Understanding and exploiting the fatty acid desaturation system in Rhodotorula toruloides

Background: Rhodotorula toruloides is a robust producer of triacylglycerol owing to its fast growth rate and strong metabolic flux under conditions of high cell density fermentation. However, the molecular basis of fatty acid biosynthesis, desaturation and regulation remains elusive. Results: We pre...
