Human nutrition and health rely on edible oils. Global demand for edible oils is expanding, necessitating the discovery of new natural oil sources subjected to adequate quality and safety evaluation. However, in contrast to other agricultural products, India's edible oil supply is surprisingly dependent on imports.

Functionalizing C-H bond poses one of the most significant challenges for chemists providing them with very few substrate-specific synthetic routes. Despite being incredibly plastic in their enzymatic ability, they are confined with deficient enzymatic action and limited explicitness of the substrates. In this study, we have endeavored to characterize novel cytochrome P450 from Bacillus aryabhattai (CYP-BA), a homolog of CYP P450-BM3, by taking interdisciplinary approaches.

This work was aimed to strategically scale-up the yeast lipid production process using Reynolds number as a standard rheological parameter from 50 mL to 50 L scale. Oleaginous yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa IIPL32 was cultivated in xylose rich corncob hydrolysate. The fermentation process for growth and maturation was operated in fed-batch with two different C/N ratios of 40 and 60.

Kluyveromyces marxianus IIPE453 can utilize biomass-derived fermentable sugars for xylitol and ethanol fermentation. In this study, the xylitol production in the native strain was improved by overexpression of endogenous d-xylose reductase gene. A suitable expression cassette harboring the gene of interest was constructed and incorporated in the native yeast.
