Factors affecting the optimisation and scale-up of lipid accumulation in oleaginous yeasts for sustainable biofuels production

Raul Robles-Iglesias et al.

Summary: The recent increase in energy demand has sparked interest in microbial lipids production as an alternative to traditional fuels due to their high energy density and environmentally-friendly characteristics. Oleaginous yeasts have shown promise in accumulating lipids for biofuel and bioproduct manufacturing. This review provides an overview of common oleaginous species and their ability to accumulate lipids, as well as the effects of different feedstocks on lipid content. Factors such as C/N ratio, pH, and temperature are also analyzed for their impact on lipid production, and genetic modifications are found to significantly increase lipid yield. Cost analysis for scaling-up is included, with feedstock costs being the highest expense.

Efficient production of n-caproate from syngas by a co-culture of Clostridium aceticum and Clostridium kluyveri

Carla Fernandez-Blanco et al.

Summary: This study investigates the combination of syngas fermentation and chain elongation technologies for the production of medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) and bioalcohols. The co-culture of C. aceticum and C. kluyveri was found to metabolize syngas at near neutral pH, yielding high concentrations of n-butyrate and n-caproate. This novel system shows promise for bioproduction of MCFAs at near neutral pH, unlike previous studies which utilized acidic conditions.

Autotrophic (C1-gas) versus heterotrophic (fructose) accumulation of acetic acid and ethanol in Clostridium aceticum

Kubra Arslan et al.

Summary: The influence of carbon source, CO or fructose, on the metabolism and growth of Clostridium aceticum was investigated. Optimal growth conditions with CO showed the highest specific growth rate and acetic acid production, while fructose fermentation resulted in formic acid inhibition. The carbon source had a selective effect on metabolic patterns and solventogenesis of C. aceticum.

Effect of creating a fed-batch like condition using carbon to nitrogen ratios on lipid accumulation in Rhodosporidium toruloides-1588

Rahul Saini et al.

Summary: The study found that maintaining a carbon to nitrogen ratio of 70 in undetoxified wood hydrolysate is most conducive for lipid accumulation in Rhodosporidium toruloides. Furthermore, high glucose and xylose consumption rates of over 95% and 70% respectively were observed, and the increase in polyunsaturated fatty acids reinforced the yeast's potential to thrive on wood hydrolysate.

Microbial lipid production from crude glycerol and hemicellulosic hydrolysate with oleaginous yeasts

Mikolaj Chmielarz et al.

Summary: This study tested the ability of oleaginous yeasts to utilize crude glycerol and hemicellulose hydrolysate as carbon sources, finding that only a few strains were able to convert them into microbial lipids. Mixing crude glycerol and hemicellulose hydrolysate stimulated lipid accumulation in R. toruloides and R. glutinis, resulting in a shorter fermentation time to reach maximum lipid concentration.

Summary: Sucrose is a superior carbon source for Rhodosporidium toruloides compared to glucose and xylose. A C/N ratio of 200:1 with either ammonium sulphate or ammonium nitrate as the nitrogen source achieves the highest biomass, lipids production, and lipids content, with potential for biodiesel production.

Biotechnological valorization of biodiesel-derived glycerol: Trials with the non-conventional yeasts Yarrowia lipolytica and Rhodosporidium sp

Sofia Sarantou et al.

Summary: Four non-conventional yeast strains of the genera Yarrowia and Rhodosporidium were cultivated under nitrogen-limited conditions using biodiesel-derived glycerol as sole substrate. Strains R. toruloides DSM 4444 and Y. lipolytica ACA-DC 5033 showed better performance, producing secondary metabolites such as citric acid and polyols. A modified Velhlust-Aggelis model successfully simulated balanced growth and secondary metabolite synthesis phases for these strains, which contain lipids ideal for 2nd generation biodiesel production.
