Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIdentification and Characterization of Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase in Oleaginous Yeast Rhodosporidium toruloidesZhen Wang, Huaiyuan Zhang, Lina Zhao, Yuanda SongDiacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT), which catalyzes TAG formation from DAG and acyl-CoA, has been considered to play a vital role in TAG accumulation in oleaginous microorganisms. The genome of oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides contains two putative DGAT genes, RtDGATa and RtDGATb, which shared little conserved amino acid coding sequence with each other. Phylogeny tree analysis showed that RtDGATa belonged to DGAT1 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 17 Oct 2016 · 7,387 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Enzymatic Role of Lipid Metabolism in Yarrowia lipolytica Grown on GlycerolRuixue Wang, Feifei Xin, Yufei Chang et al.More attention has been paid to the production of commercial fatty acids by microbial fermentation. The basic biochemistry of lipid accumulation in oleaginous microorganisms under nitrogen limitation has been extensively studied. As an oleaginous microorganism, Yarrowia lipolytica can produce fatty acid-derived biofuels and biochemicals. However, the response of the enzymes in Y. lipolytica to glycerol remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 17 Apr 2023 · 6,309 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Soybean Oil on Lipid Metabolism in Mucor circinelloides WJ11 by Metabolomic AnalysisCaili Sun, Aabid Manzoor Shah, Junhuan Yang et al.Oleaginous fungus Mucor circinelloides utilizes different carbon sources associated with sustainable production of lipids, using soybean oil as carbon source, the fungus accumulated more intracellular lipids. Nonetheless, the metabolic changes in M. circinelloides upon vegetable oil as main carbon source have not been yet reported. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the metabolomics of M. circinelloides WJ11 cultivated in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 9 Apr 2021 · 7,199 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproved SDA Production in High Lipid Accumulating Strain of Mucor circinelloides WJ11 by Genetic ModificationJunhuan Yang, Md. Ahsanul Kabir Khan, Sergio López-García et al.Stearidonic Acid (SDA; 18:4, n-3) is a ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid which is nutritionally important and has pharmaceutical applications. Hence, scientists are trying to construct SDA producing oleaginous microorganisms by genetic modification. Two enzymes, Delta-6 Desaturase (D6D) and ω-3 desaturase catalyze the reactions to produce SDA from Linoleic Acid (LA; 18:2, n-6). But the key enzyme, ω-3 desaturase converts LA … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 23 Mar 2020 · 8,240 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTwo Co-Expression Strategies for Eicosapentaenoic Acid Production in Mortierella alpinaXin Tang, Haiqin Chen, Xiaoke Zhang et al.The omega-3 long-chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid (PUFA) Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) has beneficial effects on human health, leading to its use in health products and foods. The oleaginous microorganism Mortierella alpina has been used in the industrial production of Arachidonic Acid (AA). The omega-3 desaturase oPpFADS17 is a key enzyme in the bioconversion of AA to EPA from Phytophthora parasitica and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 5 Dec 2019 · 7,480 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConversion of Mutton Fat to Cocoa Butter Equivalent by Increasing the Unsaturated Fatty Acids at the Sn-2 Position of Triacylglycerol Through Fermentation by Yarrowia LipolyticaDan Xiong, Huaiyuan Zhang, Yifang Xie et al.Mutton fat has a similar fatty acid profile with Cocoa Butter (CB), except that its degree of unsaturation of Triacylglycerol (TAG) at the Sn-2 position is considerably lower than CB and maybe increased by Sn-2 specific lipase to produce Cocoa Butter Equivalent (CBE), a healthy functional lipid. However, there is no commercially available Sn-2 specific lipase that can be used … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 Mar 2015 · 8,698 accessesView PDFCite
