Yarrowia Lipolytica Yeast

Yarrowia Lipolytica Yeast: From Metabolic Engineering to Biotechnological Applications gathers all the information about the genetics, uses, extraction, purification, and applications of this non-conventional yeast, not just focusing on the genetics and metabolic engineering, nor on the biotechnological applications. Composed of 10 chapters, the title covers the genetic modifications and the techniques used to genetically modify Y. Lipolytica, the fermentation conditions, the various media used in biotechnological applications, and all the value-added compounds that can be produced. In addition to the downstream processing of these biomolecules, namely their extraction and purification. Edited by the most renowned researchers of this yeast, this book is of great interest to industries that are either working on biofuel production or searching for environmentally friendly and natural alternatives for their chemically produced value-added compounds.
