Some strains of Rhodosporidium toruloides can produce high concentrations of single cell oil. However, this oleaginous yeast does not produce amylases. Cells of the amylase-producing yeast Saccharomycopsis fibuligera A11-c were immobilized using polyvinyl alcohol. The immobilized yeast could...

After the lipid contents in 7 strains of Rhodosporidium toruloides were determined, R. toruloides 21167 among them was found to be able to produce the highest amount of lipid in its cells. Many ions, such as Mn2+, Ca2+, Zn2+ and Fe3+ had positive effects on lipid accumulation by R. toruloides...
