Investigating the Bioconversion Potential of Volatile Fatty Acids: Use of Oleaginous Yeasts <i>Rhodosporidium toruloides</i> and <i>Cryptococcus curvatus</i> towards the Sustainable Production of Biodiesel and Odd-Chain Fatty Acids

Oleaginous yeasts have attracted increasing scientific interest as single cell oil (SCO) producers. SCO can be used as a fossil-free fuel substitute, but also as a source of rarely found odd-chain fatty acids (OCFAs), such as C15, C17, and C25 fatty acids which have a wide range of nutritional and b...
