The present invention relates to at least one cell for producing at least one lipid with general formula II from at least one carbon substrate, wherein R1 and R2 independently of one another comprises identical or different organic radicals each with 5 to 13 carbon atoms, wherein the cell is a non-pathogenic cell that is genetically modified to increase the heterologous expression relative to the wild type cell of: an enzyme (E2) capable of converting 3-hydroxyalkanoyl-3-hydroxyalkanoyl-CoA/ACP or 3-(3-hydroxyalkanoyloxy)alkanoic acid (HAA) and NDP-glucose into β-D-glucopyranosyl-3-hydroxyalkanoyl-3-hydroxyalkanoate.
