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