摘要:
The present invention provides for the use of oleaginous yeast strains that are capable of converting lignocellulosic hydrolysates to lipids. More specifically, under specific molar carbon to nitrogen ratios of treated biomass hydrolysates, oleaginous yeasts are able to accumulate lipids that are suitable for the manufacture of biofuels and other products of interest. Additionally, some yeast species provided herein produce carotenoids when grown utilizing the disclosed methodologies.
摘要:
Open chain sophorolipids may be produced by fermentation with Candida sp. NRRL Y-27208 or C. riodocensis. Dimers and trimers of sophorolipids are also produced. The sophorolipds are produced by inoculating a fermentation medium comprising a carbon source and a lipid, with Candida riodocensis or Candida species NRRL Y-27208, and incubating under aerobic conditions and for a period of time effective to produce an open chain sophorolipid in the medium. The sophorolipids may be subsequently recovered from the fermentation medium.
