The review sums up the results of studies of (1) physiological growth characteristics of the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica, cultured in the presence of diverse carbon sources (n-alkanes, glucose, and glycerol), and (2) superhigh synthesis of organic acids, which were performed at the Skryabin Institute of Biochemistry and Physiology of Microorganisms of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Microbiological processes of obtaining alpha-ketoglutaric, pyruvic, isocitric, and citric acids are discussed.

Environmental concerns are rising the need to find cost-effective alternatives to fossil oils. In this sense, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are proposed as carbon source for microbial oils production that can be converted into oleochemicals. This investigation took advantage of the outstanding traits of recombinant Yarrowia lipolytica strains to assess the conversion of SCFAs derived from real digestates into odd-chain fatty acids (OCFA).

Article Synopsis
- Oil cakes, a byproduct of oilseed processing, have high fat and protein content, making them valuable in animal feed and biotechnological applications.
- The article explores using five types of oil cakes to produce GDDL, a cyclic ester with a creamy-peach aroma, focusing on rapeseed cake due to its high oleic acid content.
- The biotransformation process involves three steps and successfully produces about 1.7 g of GDDL/dm, demonstrating the potential for waste valorization and supporting circular economy practices in food processing.

Alternative fuels are urgently needed to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. This study was conducted to recover bioenergy from non-edible feedstock, an oleaginous yeast biomass obtained during fed-batch cultivation of Yarrowia lipolytica. Yeast oil (lipids) was extracted from the harvested biomass and readily converted into biodiesel using the non-catalytic transesterification method.
