Innovative Methods for the Production of II Generation Biodiesel by Exploitation of Agricultural Biomasses Through the Use of Oleaginous Yeasts

A discontinuous fermenter was used to grow the oleaginous yeast Lipomyces starkeyi in the presence of hydrolysates of lignocellulosic wastes from Arundo donax. The lignocellulosic materials were first steam- exploded and subsequently treated with commercial preparations of cellulases and ß-glucosida...
