Effect of POX genotype and Lip2p overexpression on lactone production and reconsumption by Yarrowia lipolytica using castor oil as substrate

- Delection of POX2-5 genes and Aox2p expression in Y. lipolytica mutant strain minimized γ-decalactone reconsumption.
- Overexpression of LIP2 gene increased γ-decalactone production rate.
- Highest γ-decalactone production was obtained with MTLY40-2P strain using step-wise castor oil feeding.
