Native oleaginous yeasts Rhodotorula mucilaginosa and Solicoccozyma gelidoterrea: a sustainable biotechnological alternative for lipid production with potential application in diets for farmed fish (opens in new tab)

IntroductionThe rapid global expansion of aquaculture has intensified the demand for sustainable and alternative lipid sources for fish feed formulations, driving interest in microbial platforms with specialized metabolic capabilities. Among these, oleaginous yeasts have emerged as promising candidates due to their ability to accumulate substantial intracellular lipid reserves and to modulate fatty acid composition in response to environmental and nutritional cues.MethodsIn this study, the li...
