Role of metabolic engineering in the utilization of hydrophobic wastes by oleaginous microorganisms: Challenges and approaches (1) Missing gene annotation through advanced gene clustering; (2) Identification and characterization of potential novel lipase and lipolytic microorganisms; (3) Identification of mechanism and pathway for FFA transport; (4) Transformation into desired lipid profile using over‐expression or knock‐out of desaturase and similar enzymes; (5) Expression of enzymes related to fatty alcohol production.
