<h4>Background</h4><i>Yarrowia lipolytica</i>, a non-traditional oil yeast, has been widely used as a platform for lipid production. However, the production of other chemicals such as terpenoids in engineered <i>Y. lipolytica</i> is still low. α-Farnesene, a sesquiterpene, can be used in medicine, bioenergy and other fields, and has very high economic value. Here, we used α-farnesene as an example to explore the potential of <i>Y. lipolytica</i> for terpenoid production.<h4>Results</h4>We constr ...[more]
