Cryptococcus humicola JCM 1461 efficiently produced cellobiose lipids (CLs), bolaform biosurfactants. The main product was identified as 16-O-(2″,3″,4″,6'-tetra-O-acetyl-β-cellobiosyl)-2-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid. The production yield of CLs reached 13.1 g/L under the intermittent feeding of glucose. The critical micelle concentrations (CMC) of the

Hydroxyl group-containing fatty acids play an important role in anti-inflammatory action, neuroprotection, bactericide and anti-cancer defense. However, the mechanism of long-chain hydroxy fatty acids (HFA) transport across plasma membranes is still disputed. Two main hypotheses have been suggested: firstly, that

In early research on fatty acid transport, passive diffusion seemed to provide an adequate explanation for movement of fatty acids through the membrane bilayer. This simple hypothesis was later challenged by the discovery of several proteins that appeared to be
