Researchers improve microbial oil production through optimized nitrogen combinations

November 10, 2026 |

In India, researchers have found that combining organic and inorganic nitrogen sources can improve lipid production in two oleaginous yeast strains, Rhodotorula kratochvilovae and Rhodotorula paludigena. The study showed that the optimal nutrient combinations differed between strains. In R. kratochvilovae, ammonium sulfate combined with yeast extract produced the highest lipid yield, at 1.219 grams per […]
