Yarrowia is a fungal genus in the family Dipodascaceae. For a while the genus was monotypic, containing the single species Yarrowia lipolytica, a yeast that can use unusual carbon sources, such as hydrocarbons. [2] This has made it of interest for use in industrial microbiology, especially for the production of specialty lipids. [3]

Yarrowia lipolytica is one of the most studied “non-conventional” yeast species capable of synthesizing a wide group of valuable metabolites, in particular lipases and other hydrolytic enzymes, microbial oil, citric acid, erythritol and γ-decalactone.

Yarrowia lipolytica, a safe yeast, efficiently metabolizes lipids for the production of food additives and agricultural products. Boosting its growth and lipid utilization capabilities is crucial to enhancing the overall efficiency Y. lipolytica.

Mar 18, 2021 · Different Y. lipolytica strains, native and engineered, are beneficial in degrading many environmental pollutants causing serious ecological problems worldwide. In agriculture has a potential to be a bio-control agent by stimulating …

Yarrowia lipolytica, an oleagineous species of yeast, is a carrier of various important nutrients. The biomass of this yeast is an extensive source of protein, exogenous amino acids, bioavailable essenctial trace minerals, and lipid compounds as mainly unsaturated fatty acids.

The Yarrowia lipolytica yeast is capable of adapting to various environmental challenges. The microorganism can prosper at extremely high (up to 9.5) and low (up to 2.5) [1] ambient pH [2], as well as under conditions of high salinity using either dry or hydrophobic substrates [3].

Efficacy and safety studies have demonstrated the safe use of Yarrowia-derived products containing significant proportions of Yarrowia biomass (as for DuPont's eicosapentaenoic acid-rich oil) or with the yeast itself as the final product (as for …

Feb 17, 2021 · Yarrowia lipolytica has rapidly emerged as a valuable cell factory for the production of terpenoids due to its own endogenous mevalonate pathway and its high lipid production capacity. To date, this yeast has been successfully engineered for the efficient production of β-ionone (Pang et al .

Sep 7, 2012 · The yeast Yarrowia lipolytica presents specific physiological, metabolic and genomic characteristics, which differentiate it from the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. These properties have led several research groups to …

May 18, 2024 · Yarrowia lipolytica is a versatile yeast species known for its broad and diverse application over the years, with its robust enzymatic capabilities and significant biocatalytic potential .
