title: [Organic acid production by the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica (a review)].
abstract: The review sums up the results of studies of (1) physiological growth characteristics of the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica, cultured in the presence of diverse carbon sources (n-alkanes, glucose, and glycerol), and (2) superhigh synthesis of organic acids, which were performed at the Skryabin Institute of Biochemistry and Physiology of Microorganisms of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Microbiological processes of obtaining alpha-ketoglutaric, pyruvic, isocitric, and citric acids are discussed.
