Maximizing biodiesel production from Yarrowia lipolytica Po1g biomass using subcritical water pretreatment

► Temperature plays an important role in increasing the amount of extractable lipid during sub-critical water pretreatment. ► Sub-critical water pretreatment of Yarrowia lipolytica Po1g biomass increases the biodiesel yield. ► The oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica Po1g is a potential feedstock for biodiesel production.
