Yarrowia lipolytica NRRL
Y-64008
Yarrowia lipolytica NRRL Y-64008 is an oleaginous,
osmophilic, non-model yeast and a GRAS organism with good genetic
tools. It is best known for its ability to produce citric acid,
lipids, and polyols at high titers. It is also used as a production
host for proteases and lipases. It can grow on plant-based sugars
and hydrophobic carbon sources.
