OUC-China # Turn waste cooking oil into MCAFs and their derivatives # 2023 OUC-China igem team focuses on the green production of medium chain fatty acids and their derivatives.Firstly, MEL (Mannose-erythroitol) is produced by Moesziomyces aphidis XM01 using waste cooking oil as substrate, and a large number of medium chain fatty acids are obtained by hydrolyzing MEL. Due to the coexistence of different fatty acid pathways in XM01 strain, a large amount of MEL is formed and the accumulation of intracellular oil is caused. ...
