Organisms Rhodotorula toruloides
Description R. toruloides is a potential metabolic engineering strain that can accumulate lipid to above 70% of the cell dry weight, comprising mostly C16 and C18 fatty acids can be used as biodiesel. R. toruloides is also a natural producer of carotenoids, including torulene, torularhodin (up to 80% of total carotenoid content) and beta-carotene.
