Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
Wild-type yeast strains of Metschnikowia sp., Rhodotorula sp. and Rhodosporidium sp. were grown under nitrogen-limited conditions with crude glycerol employed as sole substrate in shake flasks, under nitrogen-limited conditions, with initial glycerol concentration (Glol0) ≈45 g/L. Yeasts presented...Read more
Lipid production by Rhodosporidium toruloides during growth on biodiesel-derived crude glycerol

Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
Rhodosporidium toruloides DSM 4444 when grown on biodiesel-derived glycerol under nitrogen-limited conditions was revealed as an efficient microbial lipid produced. This strain when cultivated on glycerol at initial concentration (Gly0) ~50 g/L produced dry cell weight (DCW) =18.1 g/L containing...Read more
