Harnessing oleaginous yeast to produce omega fatty acids
Trends Biotechnol. 2024 Apr 9:S0167-7799(24)00084-2. doi: 10.1016/j.tibtech.2024.03.005. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOmega fatty acids are important for human health. They are traditionally extracted from animals or plants but can be alternatively produced using oleaginous yeast. Current efforts are producing yeast strains with similar fatty acid distributions and powerful lipogenesis capacity. The next step is to further make the process more competitive.PMID:38594144 | DOI:10.1016/j.tibtech.2024.03.005 (Source: Trends in Biotechnology)

The green revolution of food waste upcycling to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates
Trends Biotechnol. 2024 Apr 5:S0167-7799(24)00066-0. doi: 10.1016/j.tibtech.2024.03.002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis review emphasizes the urgent need for food waste upcycling as a response to the mounting global food waste crisis. Focusing on polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) as an alternative to traditional plastics, it examines the potential of various food wastes as feedstock for microbial fermentation and PHA production. The upcycling of food waste including cheese whey, waste cooking oil, coffee waste, and animal fat is an innovative practice for food waste management. This approach not only mitigates environmental...

Killer yeasts: expanding frontiers in the age of synthetic biology
Trends Biotechnol. 2024 Apr 3:S0167-7799(24)00067-2. doi: 10.1016/j.tibtech.2024.03.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTKiller yeasts secrete protein toxins that are selectively lethal to other yeast and filamentous fungi. These exhibit exceptional genetic and functional diversity, and have several biotechnological applications. However, despite decades of research, several limitations hinder their widespread adoption. In this perspective we contend that technical advances in synthetic biology present an unprecedented opportunity to unlock the full potential of yeast killer systems across a spectrum of applications. By leve...
