Estimating the term…
The present invention lies in the field of microbial fatty acid/lipid/oil production from lignocellulosic feedstock/material/biomass, in particular from lignocellulose degradation products like lignocellulose hydrolysates. The present invention relates to a method of producing an oleaginous yeast strain adapted to a lignocellulose medium. The present invention further relates to an oleaginous yeast strain adapted to a lignocellulose medium and produced by the method of the invention and to an oleaginous yeast strain adapted to a lignocellulose medium, said strain being characterized by a particular RNA expression profile (showing, for example, an activated metabolic stress response RPOS). The present invention further relates to a method of producing oleaginous yeast cells, to a method of producing fatty acids and/or lipids, and to a method of producing (vegan) nutraceuticals/nutritional supplements or petroleum replacers. The present invention further relates to microbial methods for conversion of lignocellulosic hydrolysates using oleaginous yeast, in particular for producing oleaginous yeast cells, fatty acids, lipids, oils, (vegan) nutraceuticals/nutritional supplements and/or petroleum replacers.
A method of producing an oleaginous yeast strain adapted to a lignocellulose medium, said method comprising the steps of
5-10. (canceled)
The method of claim 10, wherein said final expected yeast cell biomass is determined on the basis of the OD600, the wet cell weight (wcw) and/or the dry cell weight (dcw) of said yeast cells in said medium (w/w).
