Unraveling and resolving inefficient glucolipid biosurfactants production through quantitative multiomics analyses of Starmerella bombicola strains

Glucolipids (GLs) are glycolipid biosurfactants with promising properties. These GLs are composed of glucose attached to a hydroxy fatty acid through a ω and/or ω‐1 glycosidic linkage. Up until today these interesting molecules could only be produced using an engineered Starmerella bombicola strain (∆ ugtB1 :: URA3 G9) producing GLs instead of sophorolipids, albeit with a very low average productivity (0.01 g·L −1 ·h −1 ). In this study, we...
