1. 1. Characterization and optimization of Rhodosporidium toruloides for production of lipids

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

   Author : Niharika Singh; [2021]
   Keywords : chemical engineering; oily yeasts; lipids; nitrogen limitation; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Oleaginous microorganisms provide an opportunity to produce oils without the use of arable land for cultivation of oil-containing plants. Oleaginous microorganisms are also capable of storing products of pharmaceutical interest alongside storing polymers, which could open new opportunities in the bioplastic industry. READ MORE

3. 2. Engineering Rhodosporidium toruloides for the production of polyhydroxybutyrate

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

   Author : Tova Lindh; [2021]
   Keywords : Applied microbiology; Bioplastics; Rhodosporidium toruloides; Polyhydroxybutyrate; Non-conventional yeast; Oleaginous yeast; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : The increased use of plastics has become an environmental problem where plastics, due to the slow degradation, accumulate in the oceans and landfills. Although plastics are a very cheap and useful material with desirable properties and a wide variety of applications, they are primarily made from petroleum-based resources which are non-renewable and of fossil origin.

4. 3. Growth of filamentous fungi in pure olive oil : a fundamental study for application to vegetable oil-derived waste streams

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Tahir Muhammad Nazir; [2020]
   Keywords : filamentous fungi; oleaginous fungi; Aspergillus oryzae; Neurospora intermedia; olive oil; fat; fungal biomass;

   Abstract : Vegetable oil is more difficult to degrade by microorganisms in comparison to carbohydrates and protein. Thus, it creates serious environmental and health concerns if oil-derived waste streams produced by restaurants and industries remain untreated. READ MORE

5. 4. Evaluation of the antagonistic activity of Rhodotorula babjevae and its extracellular compounds towards postharvest pathogens

   University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

   Author : Caroline Sandberg; [2019]
   Keywords : Rhodotorula babjevae; PEFA; postharvest pathogens; yeast; mold;

   Abstract : The growing population ultimately puts pressure on the food industry to become more effi-cient and to reduce postharvest food waste. The leading method of reducing postharvest decay of fruits has been through fungicide application. READ MORE

6. 5. Establishing a predictive model for total fat content in Lipomyces starkeyi CBS 1807 by FT-NIR analysis

   University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

   Author : Irina Ehnström; [2018]
   Keywords : Oleaginous microorganisms; SCO; biofuels; FT-NIR; lipid extraction; prediction; validation;

   Abstract : This study investigates the potential of using near- infrared spectroscopy (FT-NIR) to establish a predictive model for total fat content in the oleaginous yeast Lipomyces strakeyi CBS 1807. FT-NIR- based quantification allows for rapid lipid determination compared to traditional extraction methods. READ MORE
