Abstract

There is currently a large surplus of low-value plant oils on the world market and any process for converting them to high value products is of great commercial interest. Certain yeasts (e.g. Candida sp.) possess ω- and β-oxidation pathways to metabolise fatty acids such as those derived from plant oils [1], and mutant strains have been generated that are capable of accumulating industrially useful compounds[2).
