Engineering oleaginous yeast Rhodotorula toruloides for overproduction of fatty acid ethyl esters

Abstract Background Production of biofuels and green chemicals by microbes is currently of great interest due to the increasingly limited reserves of fossil fuels. Biodiesel, especially fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs), is considered as an attractive alternative because of its similarity with petrodi...
