Our comparative study successfully demonstrated sweetwater as a cost-effective feedstock while identifying R. toluroides NRRL Y-6987 as a highly promising microbial oil producer. Furthermore, we also suggested potential sweetwater type and strain engineering targets that could potentially enhance microbial lipid production.
