title: Yarrowia lipolytica: the novel and promising 2-phenylethanol producer.
abstract: This is the first report on the ability of Yarrowia lipolytica strains to produce 2-phenylethanol (2-PE), which has not been identified for this species to date. 2-PE is a valuable aroma compound of rose-like odor. Its isolation from the other than microbial source-rose petals, is limited by the substrate availability. Thus, this chemical compound constitutes an attractive product for biotechnological conversions. To date, the ability to produce 2-PE has been described for such genera as Saccharomyces sp., Kluyveromyces sp., Geotrichum sp., and Pichia sp. This report provides evidence that Y. lipolytica is a novel 2-PE producer. Moreover, the titers of 2-PE obtained in Y. lipolytica NCYC3825 non-optimized cultures, nearly 2 g/l, are competitive to titers obtained by the other species.
