    Abstract:
    Yarrowia lipolytica is a non-conventional oleaginous yeast with great potential for industrial production. Y. lipolytica has a high propensity for flux through tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates. Therefore, this host is currently being developed as a workhorse, and is rapidly emerging in biotechnology fields, especially for industrial chemical production, whole-cell bioconversion, and the treatment and recycling of industrial waste. In recent studies, Y. lipolytica has been rewritten and introduced with non-native metabolites of certain compounds of interest owing to the advancement in synthetic biology tools. In this review, we collate recent progress to present a detailed and insightful summary of the major developments in synthetic biology tools and techniques for Y. lipolytica, including promoters, terminators, selection markers, autonomously replicating sequences, DNA assembly techniques, genome editing techniques, and subcellular organelle engineering. This comprehensive overview would be a useful resource for future genetic engineering studies to improve the yield of desired metabolic products in Y. lipolytica.
