Microbial oil production by Yarrowia lipolytica strains using glycerol as carbon source

Abstract Yeasts can produce microbial oil from hydrophobic substrates such as glycerol, a byproduct of the biodiesel industry that is often undervalued in the market. Yarrowia lipolytica is capable of degrading glycerol and is considered a model organism for studying lipid accumu...
