Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Dwindling petroleum supplies and growing environmental concerns over petroleum use have led to increasing interest in using biodiesel fuel for transportation. In this study, we aimed to construct novel biodiesel production strategy comprised lipid production by oleaginous yeast and esterification of produced lipid by lipase expressed on yeast cell surface without addition of lipase. As a result, lipid production was improved by UV-mutagenesis, cell surface lipase activity was improved by combinatorial library strategy, and biodiesel fuel was successfully produced by lipase displayed on yeast cell surface.
