Glycerol as a promising substrate for Yarrowia lipolytica biotechnological applications

摘要: Abstract Unconventional and nonpathogenic Yarrowia lipolytica yeast has been addressed in various studies conducted many research centers, recent years perceived as an especially attractive host for applications of glycerol. In its initial paragraphs, this review article provides a short characteristics Y. ; followed by biodiesel production brief crude Further on, summarizes relevant scientific concerning the conversion glycerol discharged after bio-diesel (fatty acid methyl/ethyl esters) manufacturing process into value-added products through biological methods with yeast. The feasibility using biomass, rich proteins oils, food feed additives is described well. Subsequently, different strategies employed to produce improve yield productivity organic acids (citric, pyruvic α-ketoglutaric acid) are presented. And, finally, biosynthesis new products, such erythritol, mannitol invertase, whose synthesis from would be advantageous when compared their common sugars, evaluated. conclusion, actual wide range compounds that can produced shown valuable contribution development industry well cost-effective fermentation based on renewable resources.
