In this study, the ability of Yarrowia lipolytica to produce the recombinant lipase CalB from Candida antarctica, used as a model protein has been compared across different bioreactor processes using glycerol, a byproduct from the biodiesel industry as the main carbon source. Batch, pulsed fed-batch (PFB), and continuous fed-batch (CFB) strategies were first compared using classical stirred tank (STR) bioreactors in terms of biomass production, carbon source uptake, and lipase production. Additionally, an in situ fibrous bed bioreactor (isFBB) was developed using sugarcane bagasse as a cell immobilization support. The maximum lipase titer achieved using the isFBB culture mode was 38%, 33%, and 49% higher than those obtained using the batch, PFB, and CFB cultures, respectively. The lipase productivity in isFBB mode (142U/mL/h) was 1.4-fold higher than that obtained using batch free cell cultures. These results highlight that isFBB is an efficient technology for the production of recombinant enzymes.

Oil cakes are biomass wastes created by pressing oil from oilseeds. Their chemical composition (including high fat or protein content, a favorable fatty acid profile, and a high proportion of unsaturated acids) makes them valuable raw materials not only in animal feeding but are increasingly gaining popularity in biotechnological processes. This article examines the possibility of valorizing oil cakes using the lipid fraction extracted from them or their raw form in a two-pot biosynthesis process of GDDL-a cyclic ester with a creamy-peach aroma.

Background: The mycobiome in the tumor microenvironment of non-smokers with early-stage lung adenocarcinoma (ES-LUAD) has been minimally investigated.
Methods: In this study, we conducted ultra-deep metagenomic and transcriptomic sequencing on 128 samples collected from 46 nonsmoking ES-LUAD patients and 41 healthy controls (HC), aiming to characterize the tumor-resident mycobiome and its interactions with the host.
Results: The results revealed that ES-LUAD patients exhibited fungal dysbiosis characterized by reduced species diversity and significant imbalances in specific fungal abundances.

Kaempferol and quercetin possess various biological activities, making them valuable in food and medicine. However, their production via traditional methods is often inefficient. This study aims to address this gap by engineering the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica to achieve high yields of these flavonoids.

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.

The sesquiterpene (+)-valencene, with its flavor and diverse biological functions, holds promise for applications in the food, fragrance, and pharmaceutical industries. However, the low concentration in nature and high cost of extraction limit its application. This study aimed to construct a microbial cell factory to efficiently produce (+)-valencene.
