Due to increasing fossil-fuel prices and environmental concerns, biorefinery models that produce oleochemicals have garnered great interest. Single Cell Oils (SCOs) offer a potentially sustainable solution, however its commercialization remains hindered. To address the cost of media and raw materials, we valorized waste biomass from seagrass and microalgae as carbon source for SCOs production from the yeast Cutaneotrichosporon oleaginosus. To address the low product yield we also enhanced 3-hydroxybutyrate productivity in Escherichia coli via systems biology engineering
