Sophorolipids are highly active green surfactants (glycolipid biosurfactants) getting
tremendous appreciation worldwide due to their low toxicity, biodegradability, broad …

Glycolipids are ubiquitous and biologically important molecules and are involved in diverse
biological functions and exhibit biosurfactant applications due to their surface-active and …

Abstract Background Sophorolipids (SLs) are a type of extracellular biosurfactants obtained
from renewable raw materials by fermentation with non-pathogenic yeasts. The …

Over the years, my colleagues and I have come to realise that the likelihood of
pharmaceutical drugs being able to diffuse through whatever unhindered phospholipid …

Oleaginous yeasts are typically defined as those able to accumulate more than 20% of their
cell dry weight as lipids or triacylglycerides. Research on these yeasts has increased lately …

SREBP1 is a transcription factor that influences lipogenesis by regulating key genes
associated with lipid biosynthesis, while AMPK, modulates lipid metabolism by regulating …

Polyphenolic antioxidants have been suggested to control the generation of acrylamide
during thermal reactions. However, their role in protecting against the toxicity of acrylamide …

Starmerella bombicola is a non-conventional yeast mainly known for its capacity to produce
high amounts of the glycolipids 'sophorolipids'. Although its product has been used as …

The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the most widely used model organisms for
investigating various aspects of basic cellular functions that are conserved in human cells …

Lipid accumulation in oleaginous organisms is initiated by AMP deaminase (AMPD) after
