This SBIR Phase I project will develop the feasibility of continuously producing biodiesel fuel from renewable lipids that are harvested from oleaginous yeasts. Specifically, the plan is to maximize lipid production from selected yeast strains. This project investigates an innovative process that produces transportation grade biodiesel fuel from a novel microbial bioenergy source. It will demonstrate the feasibility of continuously producing biodiesel from renewable lipids harvested from oleaginous yeasts.The yeast strains will be carefully selected through a well designed screening process and culturing conditions will be extensively tested to maximize lipid production. Continuous biodiesel production is possible by utilizing the nonconventional Mcgyan process.The broader/commercial impact of the project will be to improve the science of producing biodiesel from non-food based, cellulosic fermentable sugars which are derived from corn stover, various types of straw, hay, wood chips, saw dust, switch grass, etc.

这个SBIR一期项目将开发从产油酵母中收获的可再生脂质连续生产生物柴油燃料的可行性。具体来说，该计划是最大限度地从选定的酵母菌株生产脂质。本项目研究了一种从新型微生物生物能源中生产运输级生物柴油燃料的创新工艺。它将证明从产油酵母中收获的可再生脂质连续生产生物柴油的可行性。将通过精心设计的筛选过程仔细选择酵母菌株，并广泛测试培养条件以最大限度地提高脂质产量。利用非常规的Mcgyan工艺，连续生产生物柴油是可能的。该项目的更广泛/商业影响将是改善从非食品、纤维素可发酵糖生产生物柴油的科学，这些糖来自玉米秸秆、各种秸秆、干草、木屑、锯末、柳条草等。
