Article Synopsis
- Lignocellulosic biomass is a promising renewable resource for biomanufacturing, but its use is limited due to inhibitors like furfural and acetic acid that hinder efficient utilization by Yarrowia lipolytica.
- Researchers identified 14 novel gene targets in Y. lipolytica that enhance tolerance to high concentrations of these inhibitors, marking a significant advance in metabolic engineering.
- The underlying mechanisms include improved cell division and reduced oxidative stress, contributing to better tolerance even when using xylose as a carbon source.
