Lipid metabolism in Y. lipolytica. Schematic representation of the metabolic pathways of lipid synthesis, elongation, accumulation and degradation. Glc (glucose), AcCoa (acetyl-CoA), MaCoA (malonyl-CoA), FFA (free fatty acid), TAG (triacylglycerol), SE (steryl-esters), DAG (diacylglycerol), PL (phospholipids), MCFA (medium chain fatty acids), LCFA (long chain fatty acids), VLCFA (very long chain fatty acids). Gene names are in italic, in blue. ACC1 (acetyl-Coa carboxylase) FAS (fatty acid synthase), ELO (elongase), OLE1 (acyl-CoA desaturase), FAD2 (fatty acid desaturase), LRO (phospholipid DAG acyltransferase), TGL (triacylglycerol lipases), FAA1 (fatty acid-Coa synthetase), DGAT (DAG acyl transferase). Hypothetical routes discussed in this paper are depicted with a dashed arrow
