RkMsn4, a zinc finger transcription factor, regulates carotenoid and lipid metabolism to enhance tolerance to environmental stress in Rhodosporidium kratochvilovae
ABSTRACT Red yeasts serve as indispensable microbial resources for the production of carotenoids and lipids; however, environmental stress factors often limit their performance during industrial fermentation. The zinc-finger transcription factors Msn2/Msn4 act as central regulators of stress responses in yeasts. Howeve...
