ABSTRACT
Rhodotorula toruloides is a non-conventional red yeast that can synthesize various carotenoids and lipids. It can utilize a variety of cost-effective raw materials, tolerate and assimilate toxic inhibitors in lignocellulosic hydrolysate. At present, it is widely investigated for the production of microbial lipids, terpenes, high-value enzymes, sugar alcohols and polyketides. Given its broad industrial application prospects, researchers have carried out multi-dimensional theoretical and technological exploration, including research on genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and genetic operation platform. Here we review the recent progress in metabolic engineering and natural product synthesis of R. toruloides, and prospect the challenges and possible solutions in the construction of R. toruloides cell factory.

RESUMO O sistema de saúde requer inovações em processos e produtos para melhoria da gestão, da atenção e do estado de saúde da população. Nesse sentido, implementou-se a Rede Programa de Desenvolvimento e Inovação Tecnológica em Saúde Pública (PDTSP-Teias/Fundação Oswaldo Cruz - Fiocruz), voltada para criação de produtos inovadores para o território de Manguinhos, Rio de Janeiro. A avaliação da rede objetivou mapear os produtos dos projetos como Inovação em Saúde Pública. Considerou-se que os conceitos 'Inovação' e 'Produtos de saúde pública' estavam insuficientemente definidos nos documentos e entendimento de gestores e pesquisadores. Esse fato se mostrou relevante para a não entrega dos produtos acordados, sendo as publicações científicas entendidas como principal produto de pesquisa.
ABSTRACT Health system requires proposals for innovations in processes and products to improve management, care and population's health status. In this sense the Development and Technological Innovation Program in Public Health Network (PDTSP-Teias/Oswaldo Cruz Foundation - Fiocruz) was implemented as to create innovative products for Manguinhos's territory, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The evaluation of the Network aimed at mapping the products of the projects such as Innovation in Public Health. The concepts of 'Innovation' and 'Public health products' were considered poorly defined both in the documents and in the understanding of managers and researchers. This fact revealed to be relevant to the non-delivery of the agreed products. Scientific publications were considered sufficient as research product.
