Simultaneous saccharification and microbial lipid fermentation of corn stover by oleaginous yeast Trichosporon cutaneum

► The SSF of corn stover was tested on microbial lipid fermentation for the first time. ► The SSF of corn stover was effective in both the small scale (5 L) and the enlarged scale (50 L) bioreactors. ► Cellulase enzyme could be partially recycled in the SSF of corn stover.
