Mutations That Alter the Bacterial Cell Envelope Increase Lipid Production

Mutations That Alter the Bacterial Cell Envelope Increase Lipid Production

ABSTRACT Lipids from microbes offer a promising source of renewable alternatives to petroleum-derived compounds. In particular, oleaginous microbes are of interest because they accumulate a large fraction of their biomass as lipids. In this study, we analyzed genetic changes that alter lipid accumul...
