A novel strain of Yarrowia lipolytica as a platform for value-added product synthesis from glycerol.

This work demonstrates the excellent capacity of the engineered strains as a starting platform for further modification for broad-range value-added product biosynthesis from glycerol. This study presents the highest reported titer citric acid at low pH to date. The process parameters such as productivity and yield of erythritol and citric acid were significantly elevated, what is valuable for industrial applications.
