Did you already wonder why Starmerella bombicola produces sophorolipids?

The yeast Starmerella bombicola distinguishes itself from other yeasts by its potential of producing copious amounts of the secondary metabolites sophorolipids (SLs): these are glycolipid biosurfactants composed out of a(n) (acetylated) sophorose moiety and a lipid tail. Although SLs are the…

Cooperation with Norwegian University of Science and Technology results in publication in Journal of Colloid and Interface Science!

Highlights Acidic sophorolipid (ASL) has unconventional pH-dependent interfacial properties At the air-water interface, ASL molecules acquire a Π-shape and interact with one another through their carboxyl/carboxylate groups ASL renders copper sulfide hydrophilic at acidic pH and hydrophobic at neutral and…

Genomic location matters!

Did you know that... the output of a biosynthetic pathway is influenced by its chromosomal position? changing the location affects the expression range less than promoter-RBS libraries? culture conditions affect expression differently on different genomic locations? As a biorefinery platform…

New insights on the regulation of sophorolipid biosynthesis in Starmerella bombicola published!

The yeast Starmerella bombicola very efficiently produces the secondary metabolites sophorolipids. Their biosynthesis is not-growth associated and highly upregulated in the stationary phase. Despite high industrial and academic interest, the underlying regulation of sophorolipid biosynthesis remains unknown. In this paper,…

Science Figured out: Starmerella in the picture!

Products with an eco-label are often more expensive than regular products. Bio-engineer Sven Dierickx (Ghent University – InBio.be) is determined to change this: he uses yeast from bumblebee honey to make environmentally friendly ánd low-cost detergent. Want to know more?…
