Biotechnological advances in improved and alternative sources of lipids

Microbial Lipids

“…However, as there is still considerable interest in the manner in which microorganisms synthesize large quantities of lipids, much of the review will be taken up with the more conventional types of oils and fats that they produce. The recent reviews by HARWOOD (1994a, b), MURPHY (1994a) and RATTRAY (1994) (1991) and by MURPHY (1994b) will be found particularly useful in this respect. The industrial applications of microbial lipids have also been the subject of a monograph edited by KYLE and RATLEDGE (1992).…”
