Chitin represents the second most abundant biomass after lignocelluloses in the biosphere. It can be depolymerized into either N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) or glucosamine (GlcN) and acetate by different degradation strategies. However, these chitin-derived carbon sources have been scarcely compared for lipid production. Here, GlcNAc was found superior to GlcN or acetate for lipid accumulation by Cutaneotrichosporon oleaginosum. The lipid accumulation potential of these carbon sources was calculated based on a small scale metabolic model
