The confirmed native oleaginous yeasts. Included are all native yeasts or yeast-like species with a lipid content over or equal to 20% (w/w) reported in at least three publications and clearly identified with their generic name and specific epithet, as their current name according to the corresponding culture collection and MycoBank (48 yeasts in total). The range of the highest reported lipid contents including average and standard deviation, as well as the number of publications, where a strain of the species has been reported oleaginous, are depicted. For some species, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, not typically classified oleaginous, only certain strains have been shown to accumulate over 20% (w/w) lipid. The labels indicate the maximum lipid content recorded or the number of publications, respectively. Further identified oleaginous yeasts (less than three publications, 113 yeasts) are given in Additional file 1: Tables S3 and S4. The full methodology used to collect and analyse the presented data is given in Additional file 1
