Lipomyces starkeyi: an emerging cell factory for production of lipids, oleochemicals and biotechnology applications.
Review in World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Oils and oleochemicals produced by microbial cells offer an attractive alternative to petroleum and food-crop derived oils for the production of transport fuel and oleochemicals. An emerging candidate for industrial single cell oil production is the oleaginous yeast Lipomyces starkeyi. This yeast is capable of accumulating storage lipids to concentrations greater than 60% of the dry cell weight. From the perspective of industrial biotechnology L. starkeyi is an excellent chassis for single-cell oil and oleochemical production as it can use a wide variety of carbon and nitrogen sources as feedstock. The strain has been used to produce lipids from hexose and pentose sugars derived from cellulosic hydrolysates as well as crude glycerol and even sewage sludge. L. starkeyi also produces glucanhydrolases that have a variety of industrial applications and displays potential to be employed for bioremediation. Despite its excellent properties for biotechnology applications, adoption of L. starkeyi as an industrial chassis has been hindered by the difficulty of genetically manipulating the strain. This review will highlight the industrial potential of L. starkeyi as a chassis for the production of lipids, oleochemicals and other biochemicals. Additionally, we consider progress and challenges in engineering this organism for industrial applications.
