Creation of the Synthetic Oil Yeast: A major step forward in fatty acid production

In an article published in the prestigious journal Cell, Biopetrolia-affiliated researchers were able to reprogram the yeast S. cerevisiae from traditional alcoholic fermentation to lipogenesis. In simpler terms, transform a yeast that was used for alcohol production into a yeast that produces fatty…
