microbial strains to either improve their lipid storage
capacities or synthesize lipids with specific fatty acid
profiles [8–11]. Others focus on refining the production
process by identifying optimal culture conditions
and defining optimal medium composition [12–14]. For
instance, fed-batch culturing is the most convenient system
in pilot experiments seeking to establish optimal
production conditions: it helps identify the best medium
composition and any supplements needed. However,
continuous cultures are also of great interest when the
goal is to enhance lipid accumulation levels, especially
those of yeast grown as well-dispersed, non-filamentous
cells [15].
