LIPOYEASTS
Lipoyeasts - EU SEVENTH
FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME
Mobilising the
enzymatic potential of hydrocarbonoclastic
bacteria and the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia
lipolytica to create a powerful cellular
production platform for lipid-derived industrial
materials.
Abstract
The project will develop a versatile
fermentation platform, using the oleaginous
yeast Yarrowia lipolytica, for the
conversion of lipid feedstocks into diverse
added-value products. Relevant enzymatic
properties for the production of compounds of
interest will be derived from marine
hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria. Research directed at
elucidating the lipid metabolism of the yeast,
together with available genomic data make it
possible to intercept its lipid metabolism for
biotechnological purposes.
