Single cell oils have been considered as potential replacers of plant and animal oils, and are mainly produced by yeasts, molds, and algae. Oleaginous yeasts have taken special attention due to the similarity of their metabolism with that of higher plants, and the numerous genetic tools available for their modification. However, a special need has been reported for efficient cell disruption technology due to the rigidity of their cell wall compared to other biological ones. This makes the conventional maceration for oil recovery usually incomplete. Several mechanical and non-mechanical cell disruption technologies have been reported in the literature and are summarized in this review. A special focus is given for bead milling, high-pressure homogenization, ultrasound-, and microwave-assisted extraction. Their advantages and limitations, as well as the future potential strategies for oil recovery from oleaginous yeasts, are discussed.

单细胞油被认为是植物和动物油的潜在替代品，主要由酵母，霉菌和藻类生产。油脂性酵母由于其与高等植物的代谢相似，并且可利用多种遗传工具对其进行修饰，因此受到了特别关注。然而，由于与其他生物细胞相比其细胞壁的刚性，据报道对有效的细胞破坏技术有特殊需要。这使得用于油采收的常规浸渍通常不完整。文献中已经报道了几种机械的和非机械的细胞破坏技术，并在本综述中进行了总结。特别关注珠磨，高压均质，超声和微波辅助萃取。它们的优点和局限性
