MICROOGANISMS WITH ALTERED FATTY ACID PROFILES FOR RENEWABLE MATERIALS AND BIO-FUEL PRODUCTION

摘要

Biofuel generated from the lipids of oleaginous yeast must conform to industry and regulatory standards for fuel performance and composition. In particular, precise lipid compositions and fuel properties are required for approval of biofuels. Disclosed are genetically modified microorganisms generated from oleaginous yeast that show significant alterations in lipid profile. Also disclosed are methods of producing biofuels and biofuel compositions.

主权项

1. An oleaginous microorganism suitable for production of renewable materials, the microorganism comprising a genetic modification not present in an unmodified microorganism and a fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) profile that differs from the FAME profile of the unmodified microorganism when grown in culture.
