Alleviating our society’s dependence on petroleum-based chemicals has been highly emphasized
due to fossil fuel shortages and increasing greenhouse gas emissions. Isopropanol is …

Alkanes of defined carbon chain lengths can serve as alternatives to petroleum-based fuels.
Recently, microbial pathways of alkane biosynthesis have been identified and enabled the …

Several bottlenecks in the alcoholic fermentation process must be overcome to reach a very
high and competitive performance of bioethanol production by the yeast Saccharomyces …

We previously reported a metabolic engineering strategy to develop an isopropanol producing
strain of Cupriavidus necator leading to production of 3.4 g L −1 isopropanol. In order to …

The yeast Yarrowia lipolytica is an industrially important microorganism with distinctive
physiological and metabolic characteristics. A variety of external factors (eg, pH, temperature, and …

Formic acid, acting as both carbon and energy source, is a safe alternative to a carbon dioxide,
hydrogen and dioxygen mix for studying the conversion of carbon through the C alvin– B …

Lipid accumulation in oleaginous yeasts is triggered by nutrient imbalance in the culture
medium between the carbon source in excess and the nitrogen source in limiting concentration. …

[ 18 F]Fluoro‐L‐dopa, an important radiopharmaceutical for positron emission tomography (PET),
