Abstract
The oleaginous and carotenogenic yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides is a promising host for the production of bioproducts from lignocellulosic biomass because it is able to efficiently consume C5 and C6 sugars and lignin-derived aromatic compounds. It also presents a high lipid concentration and a potential to store other compounds derived from acetyl-CoA, such as terpenes. Terpenes are a la…
