1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundMicrobial biofuel production provides a promising sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. 1-Butanol is recognized as an advanced biofuel and is gaining attention as an ideal green replacement for gasoline. In this proof-of-principle study, the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica was first engineered with a heterologous CoA-dependent pathway and an endogenous pathway, respectively.

resultsThe co-overexpression of two heterologous genes ETR1 and EutE resulted in the production of 1-butanol at a concentration of 65 μg/L. Through the overexpression of multiple 1-butanol pathway genes, the titer was increased to 92 μg/L. Cofactor engineering through endogenous overexpression of a glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and a malate dehydrogenase further led to titer improvements to 121 μg/L and 110 μg/L, respectively. In addition, the presence of an endogenous 1-butanol production pathway and a gene involved in the regulation of 1-butanol production was successfully identified in Y. lipolytica. The highest titer of 123.0 mg/L was obtained through this endogenous route by combining a pathway gene overexpression strategy.

conclusionsThis study represents the first report on 1-butanol biosynthesis in Y. lipolytica. The results obtained in this work lay the foundation for future engineering of the pathways to optimize 1-butanol production in Y. lipolytica.
