This study evaluates the techno-economic feasibility of sophorolipid (SL) production process that co-utilizes food waste, glucose and oleic acid as substrates. Two variables are considered in terms of (a) Plant construction: Purchasing equipment either from the US or Mainland China…
Check our newest review on 5’UTRs!
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast or brewer’s yeast) is a popular microbial host in industrial biotechnology. Most synthetic biology tools to tune pathway expression focus on controlling transcription, whereas post‐transcriptional regulation is often overlooked. In this review, we discuss regulatory elements…

Article: “Efficient in-situ separation design for long-term sophorolipids fermentation with high productivity”
Until now, the production of microbial biosurfactants has been limited to the use of first-generation (food) substrates. Moreover, the results on sophorolipids yield and productivity reported by state-of-the-art fed-batch processes for sophorolipids production remain unsatisfactory and lead to a significantly…
New article published on glucolipid synthesis in S. bombicola!
Glucolipids (GLs) are glycolipid biosurfactants with promising properties, but up until today these interesting molecules could only be produced using an engineered Starmerella bombicola strain(∆ugtB1::URA3 G9) producing GLs instead of sophorolipids, albeit with a very low average productivity (0.01 g/L.h).…
