Development of the Oleaginous Yeast Rhodosporidium Toruloides as a New Model Organism for a Systems-Level Analysis of Lipid Productivity

Technical Report Brem, Rachel ; Coradetti, Samuel ; Skerker, Jeffrey ; ...

The goal of our project has been to develop one of the most productive oleaginous yeasts, Rhodosporidium toruloides, into a powerful model for systems-level research leading to the production of advanced biofuels. Under carbon-replete growth conditions in which nitrogen, sulfur or phosphorus are limiting, R. toruloides accumulates up to 70% of its dry weight in neutral lipids. We set out to find the genes that underlie this remarkable characteristic. To accomplish this, during the award period our team developed a functional-genomic toolkit for R. toruloides based on barcoded mutagenesis.
Functional genomics of lipid metabolism in the oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides

Journal Article Coradetti, Samuel T. ; Pinel, Dominic ; Geiselman, Gina M. ; ... - eLife

The basidiomycete yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides (also known as Rhodotorula toruloides) accumulates high concentrations of lipids and carotenoids from diverse carbon sources. It has great potential as a model for the cellular biology of lipid droplets and for sustainable chemical production. We developed a method for high-throughput genetics (RB-TDNAseq), using sequence-barcoded Agrobacterium tumefaciens T-DNA insertions. We identified 1,337 putative essential genes with low T-DNA insertion rates. We functionally profiled genes required for fatty acid catabolism and lipid accumulation, validating results with 35 targeted deletion strains. We identified a high-confidence set of 150 genes affecting lipid accumulation, including genes with predicted functionmore »« less
