Broadening the application of Yarrowia lipolytica synthetic biology tools to explore the potential of Yarrowia clade diversity.

ABSTRACT: Yeasts have established themselves as prominent microbial cell factories, and the availability of synthetic biology tools has led to breakthroughs in the rapid development of industrial chassis strains. The selection of a suitable microbial host is critical in metabolic engineering applications, but it has been largely limited to a few well-defined strains. However, there is growing consideration for evaluating strain diversity, as a wide range of specific traits and phenotypes have been reported even within a specific yeast genus or species. Moreover, with the advent of synthetic biology tools, non-type strains can now be easily and swiftly reshaped. The yeast Yarrowia lipolytica has been extensively studied for various applications such as fuels, chemicals, and food. Additionally,
