cultivated in NaCl-enriched glucose-based media: Adaptation dynamics and lipid production.

In the present report and for the first time in the international literature, the impact of the addition of NaCl upon growth and lipid production on the oleaginous yeast was studied. Moreover, equally for first time, lipid production by was performed under nonaseptic conditions. Therefore, the potentiality of DSM 4444 to produce lipid in media containing several initial concentrations of NaCl with glucose employed as carbon source was studied.

Conversion of biodiesel-derived glycerol into biotechnological products of industrial significance by yeast and fungal strains.

Oleochemical activities (e.g. biodiesel production, fat saponification) generate annually very high amounts of concentrated glycerol-containing waters (called crude glycerol) as the principal residues of these processes.
