Article Synopsis
- Short-chain esters like isobutyl and isoamyl acetate are valuable in industries such as flavors, fragrances, solvents, and biofuels.
- The research focused on using the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica to biosynthesize these esters by introducing specific alcohols and enhancing the production with genetic modifications of the yeast.
- By optimizing conditions and increasing acetyl-CoA levels, the study achieved significant yields of isoamyl acetate, showcasing the potential of Y. lipolytica in the effective production of various acetate esters.
