Abstract

Some species belonging to the Rhodococcus genus, such as Rhodococcus opacus , R. jostii , and R. wratislaviensis , are known to be oleaginous microorganisms, since they are able to accumulate triacylglycerols (TAG) at more than 20% of their weight (dry weight). Oleaginous rhodococci are promising microbial cell factories for the production of lipids to be used as fuels and chemicals.
