Yarrowia lipolytica, Elongase, Medium chain fatty acids, Fatty acid synthase, Diglyceride acyltransferaseBackground Oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica is an organism of choice for the development of biofuel and oleochemicals. It has become a chassis for metabolic engineering in order to produce targeted...
We have also used [1- 14 C]3-OH C20:0-CoA to investigate the reductant requirement of the enoyl-CoA reductase of the acyl-CoA elongase complex. In the presence of NADPH, [1- 14 C]3-OH C20:0-CoA conversion was stimulated. Aside from the product of dehydratio...
