The agri-food industry annually produces huge amounts of crops residues and wastes, the suitable management of these products is important to increase the sustainability of agro-industrial production by optimizing the entire value chain. This is also in line with the driving principles of the circular economy, according to which residues can become feedstocks for novel processes. Oleaginous yeasts represent a versatile tool to produce biobased chemicals and intermediates. They are flexible microbial factories able to grow on different side-stream carbon sources such as those deriving from agri-food wastes, and this characteristic makes them excellent candidates for integrated biorefinery processes through the production of microbial lipids, known as single cell oils (SCOs), for different applications. This review aims to present an extensive overview of research progress on the production and use of oleaginous yeasts and present discussions on the current bottlenecks and perspectives of their exploitation in different sectors, such as foods, biofuels and fine chemicals.

Abstract Background Fatty acid-based substances play an important role in many products, from food supplements to pharmaceutical products and biofuels. The production of fatty acids, mainly in their esterified form as triacylglycerol (TAG), has been intensively studied in oleaginous yeasts, whereas much less effort has been invested into non-oleaginous species. In the present work, we engineered the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is commonly regarded as non-oleaginous, for the storage of high amounts of TAG, comparable to the contents achieved in oleaginous yeasts. Results We investigated the effects of several mutations with regard to increased TAG accumulation and identified six of them as important for this phenotype: a point mutation in the acetyl-CoA carboxylase Acc1p, overexpression of the diacylglycerol acyltransferase Dga1p, deletions of genes coding for enzymes involved in the competing pathways glycogen and steryl ester synthesis and TAG hydrolysis, and a deletion of CKB1, the gene coding for one of the regulatory subunits of casein kinase 2. With the combination of these mutations in a S. cerevisiae strain with a relatively high neutral lipid level already in the non-engineered state, we achieved a TAG content of 65% in the dry biomass. High TAG levels were not only obtained under conditions that favor lipid accumulation, but also in defined standard carbon-limited media. Conclusions Baker's yeast, which is usually regarded as inefficient in the storage of TAG, can be converted into a highly oleaginous strain that could be useful in processes aiming at the synthesis of fatty acid-based products. This work emphasizes the importance of strain selection in combination with metabolic engineering to obtain high product levels.

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.
