[4] Biodiesel is a mixture of mono-alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids that can be used instead of regular diesel with superior performance.
Yeast strains including Torulaspora produce lipids that are similar in composition to the vegetable oils we use now to synthesize biodiesel.
After nitrogen and sugar sources deplete the yield decreases[5], Zinc seems to play a role in its produced lipids along with nutritional elements.
[7] Studies have shown that Torulaspora globosa is a good mycelial growth inhibitor, specifically against Colletotrichum.
[3] In vitro tests showed that T. globosa has an antagonistic effect on mycelial growth against the phytopathogenic mold Colletotrichum sublineolum.
