Abstract: A culture for the fermentative production of Massoia lactone comprising an Aureobasidium melanogenum species in a culture medium, wherein the Aureobasidium melanogenum species expresses no functional Aureobasidin A synthase gene mRNA when cultured, the culture medium including KH2PO4, Na2HPO4, (NH4)2SO4, MgSO4·7H2O and CaCl2·2H2O; at least two trace elements selected from the group consisting of Fe2+, Cu2+, Zn2+ and MoO42?; urea; and a carbon source selected from the group consisting of glucose, mannose, xylose and mixtures thereof, wherein the culture medium has a pH from 5.5 to 6.5.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of fermentation biotechnology, more particularly to methods for the fermentative production of massoia lactone by Aureobasidium species.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of molecular biology and more particularly to promoters useful for metabolic engineering in yeast or fungi for the production of biobased chemicals with broad applications. Intron-containing promoters with strong activity during oil-accumulation stages are particularly useful for genetic engineering in yeast and fungi, particularly Rhodosporidium or Rhodotorula genera. Such promoter are capable of driving strong expression of RNA or proteins in species of the Rhodosporidium or Rhodotorula genera.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of fungal production fatty alcohols. More specifically, the present invention relates to genetically modified host cells, nucleic acid constructs and culture medium for the production of fatty alcohols in Rhodosporidium.
