Su Y, Willis L, Rehmann L, Smith D, Jeffries T
FEMS Yeast Res
. 2018 Jun;
18(6).
PMID: 29931272
This study employed cell recycling, batch adaptation, cell mating and high-throughput screening to select adapted Spathaspora passalidarum strains with improved fermentative ability. The most promising candidate YK208-E11 (E11) showed a...

Bioresour Technol
. 2015 Nov;
200:780-8.
PMID: 26580895
Lipid production by oleaginous yeasts is optimal at high carbon-to-nitrogen ratios. In the current study, nitrogen and carbon consumption by Lipomyces starkeyi were directly measured in defined minimal media with...

PLoS One
. 2014 Sep;
9(9):e107499.
PMID: 25222864
The inability of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to ferment xylose effectively under anaerobic conditions is a major barrier to economical production of lignocellulosic biofuels. Although genetic approaches have enabled engineering...

Biotechnol Bioeng
. 2014 Aug;
112(3):457-69.
PMID: 25164099
Spathaspora passalidarum NN245 (NRRL-Y27907) is an ascomycetous yeast that displays a higher specific fermentation rate with xylose than with glucose. Previous studies have shown that its capacity for xylose fermentation...

Curr Genet
. 2014 Apr;
60(3):223-30.
PMID: 24728863
We report the development of an efficient genetic transformation system for Lipomyces starkeyi based on a modified lithium acetate transformation protocol. L. starkeyi is a highly lipogenic yeast that grows...

Biotechnol Biofuels
. 2013 Jul;
6:108.
PMID: 23890073
Background: Simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation (SSCF) process involves enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated lignocellulosic biomass and fermentation of glucose and xylose in one bioreactor. The optimal temperatures for enzymatic hydrolysis are...

Appl Environ Microbiol
. 2012 May;
78(16):5492-500.
PMID: 22636012
Fermentation of cellulosic and hemicellulosic sugars from biomass could resolve food-versus-fuel conflicts inherent in the bioconversion of grains. However, the inability to coferment glucose and xylose is a major challenge...

PMID: 21398488
The polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) copolymer poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) [P(HB-co-HHx)] has been shown to have potential to serve as a commercial bioplastic. Synthesis of P(HB-co-HHx) from plant oil has been demonstrated with recombinant Ralstonia...

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol
. 2010 Jun;
87(6):2037-45.
PMID: 20535466
We employed systematic mixture analysis to determine optimal levels of acetate, propionate, and butyrate for cell growth and polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production by Ralstonia eutropha H16. Butyrate was the preferred acid...
