Model‐Driven Engineering of Yarrowia lipolytica for Improved Microbial Oil Production by Zeynep Efsun Duman‐Özdamar, Mattijs K. Julsing, Vitor A. P. Martins dos Santos, Jeroen Hugenholtz, Maria Suarez‐Diez

“…ABSTRACT Extensive usage of plant‐based oils, especially palm oil, has led to environmental and social issues, such as deforestation and loss of biodiversity, thus sustainable alternatives are required. Microbial oils, especially from Yarrowia lipolytica, offer a promising solution because of their similar composition to palm oil, low carbon footprint and ability to utilise low‐cost substrates. …”
