image: The ability to ferment low-cost feedstocks under non-sterile conditions may enable new classes of biochemicals and biofuels, such as microbial oil produced by the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica (shown here, oil in lipid bodies is stained green and cells walls stained blue). This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Aug. 5, 2016 issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by A.J. Shaw at institution in location, and colleagues was titled, 'Metabolic engineering of microbial competitive advantage for industrial fermentation processes.' view more
