Strengthening Yarrowia lipolytica as an Industrial Chassis through Metabolic Engineering for Pretreated Lignocellulosic Residue Utilization and a Library of Organelle Targeting Peptides

This thesis advances Yarrowia lipolytica as a more versatile platform for biomanufacturing. We demonstrated robust growth and lipid production in pretreated lignocellulosic hydrolysates, supporting the use of low-cost renewable feedstocks. We then identified key constraints in xylose utilization and developed strategie...
