Vincent M, Hung MC, Baran PRM, Azahari AS, Adeni DSA. 2018. Isolation, identification and diversity of oleaginous yeastsfrom Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. Biodiversitas 19: 1266-1272. The present study was performed to isolate, identify and determine thediversity of oleaginous yeasts from various sources in Kuching, Sarawak (Malaysia). Microscopic observations via light and scanningelectron microscope (SEM) indicated that the yeast isolates were in sizes ranging from 2-3 μm in width and 4-8 μm in length, typical ofmost unicellular ascomycotic fungi. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and molecular identification performed on the yeast isolates,targeting the D1/D2 region of the 26S rDNA, identified 6 yeast species from the 21 isolates, namely Pichia manshurica (5/21), Candidakrusei (8/21), Candida parapsilosis (1/21), Pichia guilliermondii (2/21), Clavispora lusitaniae (1/21) and Kluyveromyces marxianus(4/21). All 21 yeast isolates accumulated intracellular lipids when grown in nitrogen-limited medium, as tested via Sudan IV staining.The present study is the first to document the production of lipids bodies in C. krusei, C. parapsilosis, and C. lusitaniae. Furtherinvestigations to assess the growth kinetics, lipid production efficiencies and lipids profiles of these oleaginous yeasts may provideinsights into the possible utilization of these isolates for a variety of scientific, technical and industrial applications.

Conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into lipids and related chemicals has attracted much attention in the past two decades, and the oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidiumtoruloides has been widely used in this area. While R. toruloides species naturally have physiological advantages in terms of substrate utilization, lipid accumulation, and inhibitor resistance, reduced lipid production and cell growth are noticed when biomass hydrolysates are used as feedstocks. To improve the robustness of R. toruloides, here, we devised engineered strains by overexpressing genes responsible for phenolic compound degradation. Specifically, gene expression cassettes of the manganese peroxidase gene (MNP) and versatile peroxidase gene (VP) were constructed and integrated into the genome of R. toruloides NP11. A series of engineered strains were evaluated for lipid production in the presence of typical phenolic inhibitors. The results showed that R. toruloides strains with proper expression of MNP or VP indeed grew faster in the presence of vanillin and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural than the parental strain. When cultivated in concentrated mode biomass hydrolysates, the strain VP18 had improved performance as the cell mass and lipid content increased by 30% and 25%, respectively. This study provides more robust oleaginous yeast strains for microbial lipid production from lignocellulosic biomass, and similar efforts may be used to devise more advanced lipid producers.
