Heterologous Expression of Two Malate Transporters From an Oleaginous Fungus Mucor circinelloides Improved the Lipid Accumulation in Mucor lusitanicus

The fungus, Mucor lusitanicus, is of great interest for microbial lipids, because of its ability to accumulate intracellular lipid using various carbon sources. The biosynthesis of fatty acid requires the reducing power NADPH, and acetyl-CoA, which is produced by the cleavage of citrate in cytosol....
