Production and characterization of two medium-chain-length polydroxyalkanoates by engineered strains of Yarrowia lipolytica

Abstract Background The oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica is an organism of choice for the tailored production of various compounds such as biofuels or biopolymers. When properly engineered, it is capable of producing medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoate (mcl-PHA), a biobased and biodegradabl...
