Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a widely used cell factory for the production of fuels and chemicals. However, as a non-oleaginous yeast, S. cerevisiae has a limited production capacity for lipophilic compounds, such as β-carotene. To increase its accumulation of β-carotene, we engineered different lipid metabolic pathways in a β-carotene producing strain and investigated the relationship between lipid components and the accumulation of β-carotene. We found that overexpression of sterol ester synthesis genes ARE1 and ARE2 increased β-carotene
