A Two-Step Process for Converting Methane to Canthaxanthin Using Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) Biomass and Engineered Yarrowia lipolytica.

Methane biotransformation is gaining attention for the bio-industry and environmental protection. This study presents an approach for converting methane to canthaxanthin using Methylococcus capsulatus biomass and Yarrowia lipolytica. Y.

Boosting Geranyl Diphosphate Synthesis for Linalool Production in Engineered Yarrowia lipolytica.

Linalool is a pleasant-smelling monoterpenoid widely found in the essential oils of most flowers. Due to its biologically active properties, linalool has considerable commercial potential, especially in the food and perfume industries. In this study, the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica was successfully engineered to produce linalool de novo.
