Abstract
The utilization of microbial oil produced by oleaginous yeast and fungi as raw material for fuel synthesis could result in a sustainable process avoiding the competition with food and feed products. Oleaginous microorganisms could be cultivated in submerged fermentations by using renewable resources as feedstock including agricultural residues and industrial waste and by-product streams. This chapter focuses on the description of the potential of microbial oil production by yeast and fungi, the biochemistry of oil accumulation, and the prospect of biodiesel production from microbial oil.
