Mucor circinelloides has been commonly used as the model microbe to investigate lipid production as an oleaginous fungus. Mitochondrial citrate transporter can catalyze the translocation of the citrate, accumulated from TCA cycle, across the mitochondrial inner membrane. The extra-mitochondrial citrate is then cleaved by ATP-citrate lyase to oxaloacetate (OAA) and acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA together with NADPH generated in cytosol is used for fatty acid biosynthesis. Thus, citrate transporters provide a link between TCA cycle in mitochondria and fatty acid biosynthesis in cytosol. However, the role of citrate transporters for lipid accumulation in oleaginous fungi is not clear. Two genes coding for citrate transporters, named citrate transporter (ct) and tricarboxylate transporter (tct) respectively, were present in the genome of oleaginous fungus M. circinelloides WJ11, a high lipid producing strain (36%, lipid/cell dry weight). As the mutant of strain CBS 277.49 (15%, lipid/cell dry weight) has been constru...
