Abstract:
Microbial lipid is a potential raw material for biofuel industry. In this review, we summarized recent progress in microbial lipid production by oleaginous fungi in terms of identifying cheap feedstock, developing robust lipid producer, establishing novel strategies and better culture modes for cellular lipid accumulation, as well as revealing the molecular mechanism of oleaginity. We discussed issues, solutions and directions for further development of microbial lipid technology.
