The use of methyl ricinoleate in lactone production by Yarrowia lipolytica : aspects of bioprocess operation that influence the overall performance

Yarrowia lipolytica was used to produce γ-decalactone by the degradation of methyl ricinoleate (MR). A new method for inoculating the biotransformation medium was tested, which avoided the laborious step of washing cells from the growth medium. The consequent cell hydrophobicity increase led to an e...
