The feedstock preference of the most prominent oleaginous yeasts. Displayed is the feedstock popularity according to the depicted definition. As an example, Yarrowia lipolytica has been cultured on an oil/fat four times more often than the average yeast. The feedstock popularity indicates certain feedstock preferences of the specified yeast. For instance, when a fatty acid is the preferred feedstock, Yarrowia lipolytica and Cutaneotrichosporon oleaginosus are likely suitable yeasts. The feedstock distribution of all oleaginous yeasts can be reviewed in Fig. 3. Please see the corresponding caption for details of the carbon sources comprising each category. The full methodology used to collect and analyse the presented data is given in Additional file 1
