An engineered Yarrowia lipolytica with rapid growth and efficient lipid utilization by Tianyu Dong, Yujie Shu, Ying Wang, Mingdong Yao, Wenhai Xiao

“…The engineered strain had a specific growth rate of 0.32 h−1 and a lipid content of 67.66 % (g/g DCW), which were 54 % and 26 % greater than those of the original strain. β-Carotene was used to verify the production of lipophilic natural compounds, and the highest yield was obtained 48 h earlier using the engineered strain compared to the original strain when consuming same carbon source. These findings show promise in using engineered Y. lipolytica for rapid growth and improved lipid utilization to boost efficiency of lipophilic product production.…”

Metabolic Engineering of <i>Escherichia coli</i> Nissle 1917 for the Production of Heparosan Using Mixed Carbon Sources by Fangqi Shao, Ruiji Wu, Zheng-Jun Li

“…Here, we developed a systematic metabolic engineering strategy in <i>Escherichia coli</i> Nissle 1917 to establish an efficient heparosan production platform. Through the systematic engineering of the glycolytic pathway involving the targeted knockout of <i>zwf</i>, <i>pfkAB</i>, <i>pgi</i>, and <i>fruA</i> (or alternatively <i>fbaA</i>) genes, we generated recombinant strains that lost the capacity to utilize glucose or fructose as sole carbon sources in a minimal medium. …”
