Abstract: Microbial lipid production has been studied extensively for years; however, lipid metabolic engineering in many of the extraordinarily high lipid-accumulating yeasts was impeded by inadequate understanding of the metabolic pathways including regulatory mechanisms defining their oleaginicity and the limited genetic tools available. The aim of this review is to highlight the prominent oleaginous yeast genera, emphasizing their oleaginous characteristics, in conjunction with diverse other features such as cheap carbon source utilization, withstanding the effect of inhibitory compounds, commercially favorable fatty acid composition—all supporting their future development as economically viable lipid feedstock. The unique aspects of metabolism attributing to their oleaginicity are accentuated in the pretext of outlining the various strategies successfully implemented to improve the production of lipid and lipid-derived metabolites. A large number of in silico data generated on the lipid accumulation in certain oleaginous yeasts have been carefully curated, as suggestive evidences in line with the exceptional oleaginicity of these organisms. The different genetic elements developed in these yeasts to execute such strategies have been scrupulously inspected, underlining the major types of newly-found and synthetically constructed promoters, transcription terminators, and selection markers. Additionally, there is a plethora of advanced genetic toolboxes and techniques described, which have been successfully used in oleaginous yeasts in the recent years, promoting homologous recombination, genome editing, DNA assembly, and transformation at remarkable efficiencies. They can accelerate and effectively guide the rational designing of system-wide metabolic engineering approaches pinpointing the key targets for developing industrially suitable yeast strains.

Sameh S. Ali,Rania Al-Tohamy,Tarek Mohamed,Yehia A.-G. Mahmoud,Héctor A. Ruiz,Lushan Sun,Jianzhong Sun +6 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors used robust oleaginous yeast as a cell factory to convert aromatic wastes to lipids as the substrate for biodiesel transformation, where the highest percentage of lipid accumulation can be achieved as high as 47.25% by Meyerozyma caribbica SSA1654, isolated from a wood-feeding termite gut system.

Tassou,Marina Bely,Warren Albertin +20 more
TL;DR: Populations isolated from winemaking environments are quite diverse at the genetic level: neither clonal-like behaviour nor specific genetic signature were associated with the different vineyards/wineries, suggesting that C. zemplinina is not under selective pressure in winemmaking environments.

Effect of organic acids on the growth and lipid accumulation of oleaginous yeast Trichosporon fermentans
TL;DR: This work investigated for the first time the effect of ten representative organic acids in lignocellulosic hydrolysates on the growth and lipid accumulation of oleaginous yeast Trichosporon fermentans cells and found that the toxicity of the organic acids to the cells was not directly related to their hydrophobicity.

TL;DR: The spatio-temporal interplay between Nfre and Nfr1, and their divergent signalling through distinct kinases suggests the presence of an NFRe-mediated idling state keeping the epidermal cells of the expanding root system attuned to rhizobia.

CRISPR-Cas12a/Cpf1-assisted precise, efficient and multiplexed genome-editing in Yarrowia lipolytica
TL;DR: The CRISPR-Cpf1 system is optimized and achieved high-editing efficiency for two counter-selectable markers in the industrially-relevant oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica and the toolkit is expanded to edit three sulfur house-keeping genetic markers, which confers yeast distinct colony color changes due to the formation of PbS (lead sulfide) precipitates.
