Abstract excerpt
Erythritol is a natural zero-calorie sweetener with potential for sustainable healthy diets. While yeasts can convert biodiesel-derived glycerol into erythritol, the low production and by-product accumulation limit its industrial commercialization. Here, we isolated different morphologically Yarrowia lipolytica mutants with higher erythritol production through adaptive laboratory evolution under hyperosmotic...
