Impact of Plant Oil Supplementation on Lipid Production and Fatty Acid Composition in TISTR 3370.

The genus has been utilized for the production of PUFA-rich lipids. Therefore, we investigate the impact of plant oil supplementation in the culture medium (soybean oil, rice bran oil, and perilla oil), selected based on their different fatty acid predominant, on lipid production and fatty acid composition in (TISTR 3370). All oils significantly boosted fungal growth, each influencing distinct patterns of lipid accumulation within the cells.

Survival of Kluyveromyces marxianus with stigmasterol as subjected to freezing stress.

Kluyveromyces marxianus is an aerobic yeast and is interested to be applied in many industries. This research was aimed to study the effect of the sterol alternative to ergosterol on the freezing stress of K. marxianus UBU1-11, a thermotolerant yeast.
