Article Synopsis
- There's increasing scientific interest in using oleaginous yeasts, like Rhodosporidium toruloides, for producing microbial oils that can serve as biofuels.
- Due to high costs of traditional substrates, volatile fatty acids (VFAs), sourced from pollutants, are being explored as cheap alternatives.
- In experiments, R. toruloides effectively used VFAs from the fermentation of syngas, achieving considerable lipid accumulation and suggesting new avenues for biofuel production from C1 gases.
Clostridium spp. are suitable for the bioconversion of C -gases (e.g.

This study demonstrates that a common mixture of VFAs, typically obtained from the anaerobic fermentation of C1-gases by some acetogenic bacteria, can be used in a second aerobic fermentation with the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica to obtain lipids as precursors of biodiesel. In the batch experiments, the preference of Yarrowia lipolytica W29 for acetic acid over butyric and caproic acids was demonstrated, with the highest consumption rate reaching 0.
