The paper develops a stable hydrogel using polydisperse yeast exopolysaccharides for embedding cancer spheroids, demonstrating improved consistency and long-term stability.

This study identifies conditions for extracellular biopolymer production in Rhodotorula toruloides, showing that nitrogen metabolism acidification drives exopolysaccharide synthesis.

This study improves xylose consumption in Rhodotorula toruloides by overexpressing xylose reductase and xylulokinase from different organisms, showing significant increases in consumption rate and growth.

The paper quantifies r-protein stability and stoichiometry in E. coli during stationary phase, revealing non-stoichiometric distribution of r-proteins in the proteome.

The paper develops a Golden Gate Assembly platform (RtGGA) for Rhodotorula toruloides to enhance metabolic pathway engineering, resulting in a 41% increase in carotenoid production.

This study benchmarks the accuracy and precision of intensity-based protein quantification methods in yeast using mass spectrometry.

This study investigates how R. toruloides converts xylose into lipids and carotenoids, showing that oxidative stress improves lipid yields and adaptive evolution enhances carotenoid production.

The paper examines carbon overflow in yeast by linking proteome overabundance to respiration and energy efficiency, showing ribosome allocation determines growth rate and energy constraints trigger carbon overflow.
