In recent years, Rhodosporidium sp. has received significant interest in advanced biofuel production due to its ability to accumulate more than 60% lipid of their total dry cell weight. Moreover, it can thrive on a wide variety of substrates, has high inhibitor tolerance, and faster growth rate. Despite these advantages and based on current technological advancement, the true potential of Rhodosporidium sp. as a biofuel producer and its commercialization feasibility is still questionable. Thus, this review aims to illustrate the problems that are associated with Rhodosporidium sp. in the field of biofuel production. Apart from this, information regarding factors affecting lipid accumulation, and the role of genetic and metabolic engineering is presented. Additionally, the economic outlook of microbial lipid-derived using lignocellulosic biomass has also been reviewed. Drop-in oil production and its commercialization needs are discussed to bring Rhodosporidium sp. into the limelight and, eventually, to revolutionize the entire biofuel industry.

近年来，红假单胞菌属。由于其能够积聚其干细胞总重量的60％以上的脂质，已经对先进的生物燃料生产产生了浓厚的兴趣。而且，它可以在各种底物上繁衍生息，具有很高的抑制剂耐受性，并且具有更快的生长速率。尽管具有这些优势，并且基于当前的技术进步，但Rhodosporidium sp。的真正潜力仍然存在。作为生物燃料生产国，其商业化可行性仍然值得怀疑。因此，本综述旨在阐明与红假单胞菌相关的问题sp。在生物燃料生产领域。除此之外，还介绍了有关影响脂质积累的因素以及遗传和代谢工程的作用的信息。另外，也已经综述了使用木质纤维素生物质衍生的微生物脂质的经济前景。讨论了直接生产石油及其商业化需求，以带来Rhodosporidium sp.。成为众人瞩目的焦点，并最终彻底改变了整个生物燃料行业。
