Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Oleaginous microbes can convert various substrates into single-cell oils (SCOs), making them promising candidates for sustainable lipid production; however, identifying cost-effective and renewable carbon sources remains a significant challenge. This study evaluates the efficiency of the oleaginous yeast Lipomyces starkeyi strain D35 in lipid production when cultivated using palm oil mill effluent (POME)—an abundant and underutilized waste product—as a novel carbon source, thereby demonstrating its potential to support high lipid accumulation and offering an innovative approach to waste valorization and sustainable bioprocessing. L. starkeyi D35 was cultured under three conditions—glucose only, POME only (5 g/L), and both glucose and POME—and fermented at 190 rpm and 30 °C for 96 h. The strain achieved significant lipid production and robust growth, reaching a lipid concentration of 31.81 g/L. Analysis revealed that the majority of the intracellular lipids comprised C16 and C18 fatty acids, indicating suitability for biofuel applications. These findings suggest that POME can serve as a viable alternative substrate and a valuable renewable carbon supplement for lipid production in biorefineries using L. starkeyi strain D35, contributing to environmental sustainability and waste reduction.
