Abstract excerpt
Starmerella bombicola is a non-conventional yeast commercially used as a microbial cell factory for sophorolipid production. Sophorolipids are glycolipid biosurfactants composed of a glucose disaccharide sophorose and a fatty acid. In de novo sophorolipid synthesis, the fatty acid moiety is derived from the fatty acid synthesis (FAS) complex; therefore, the yeast's lipid metabolism plays a crucial role in...
