[Capacity of the oleaginous yeast Clavispora lusitaniae Hi2 to transform agroindustrial residues into lipids].

Background: Single-cell oils obtained from oleaginous microorganisms by using lignocellulosic waste hydrolysates are an alternative for producing biodiesel.

Aims: To isolate a yeast strain able to produce lipids from centrifuged nejayote (CN), hydrolyzed nejayote solids (HNS) and hydrolyzed sugarcane bagasse (HSB).

Methods: In order to identify the yeasts recovered, 26S ribosomal DNA was sequenced.
