sugarcane bagasse as a feedstock for lipid production. Upon initial assessment in glucose
or xylose media, five potential strains were chosen for further assessment in sugarcane
bagasse hydrolysate. All strains exhibited improved growth and lipid production due to a
buffering capacity of the hydrolysate, with R. glutinis showing the best lipid production. The
yeast growth and lipid production were similar over the pH range between 5.5 and 7.5. It …
