          In order to provide a sustainable, community-based solution, we plan

          to genetically modify <i>Rhodosporidium toruloides</i>, an oleaginous
 +
          yeast that naturally produces beta-carotene and lipids, to be more

          robust and resource-efficient. By modifying the yeast to produce
 +
          cellulase, it can then use common agricultural waste products as an
 +
          energy source for synthesizing its oil. It can then be eaten as a

          vitamin A supplement. The yeast strain, while naturally safe and

          non-pathogenic, will also be genetically modified to include a kill

          switch for bio-containment, and optimized for oil production.

OVERVIEW

What we accomplished

In order to provide a sustainable, community-based solution, we plan to genetically modify Rhodosporidium toruloides, an oleaginous yeast that naturally produces beta-carotene and lipids, to be more robust and resource-efficient. By modifying the yeast to produce cellulase, it can then use common agricultural waste products as an energy source for synthesizing its oil. It can then be eaten as a vitamin A supplement. The yeast strain, while naturally safe and non-pathogenic, will also be genetically modified to include a kill switch for bio-containment, and optimized for oil production.

By modifying the yeast to produce cellulase, it can then use common agricultural waste products as an energy source for synthesizing its oil. It can then be eaten as a vitamin A supplement. The yeast strain, while naturally safe and non-pathogenic, will also be genetically modified to include a kill switch for bio-containment, and optimized for oil production.

The yeast strain, while naturally safe and non-pathogenic, will also be genetically modified to include a kill switch for bio-containment, and optimized for oil production.

Thymol Production

In order to provide a sustainable, community-based solution, we plan to genetically modify Rhodosporidium toruloides, an oleaginous yeast that naturally produces beta-carotene and lipids, to be more robust and resource-efficient. By modifying the yeast to produce cellulase, it can then use common agricultural waste products as an energy source for synthesizing its oil. It can then be eaten as a vitamin A supplement. The yeast strain, while naturally safe and non-pathogenic, will also be genetically modified to include a kill switch for bio-containment, and optimized for oil production.
