Lighting up yeast: overview of optogenetics in yeast and their applications to yeast biotechnology

Abstract Optogenetics is an empowering technology that uses light-responsive proteins to control biological processes. Because of its genetic tractability, abundance of genetic tools, and robust culturing conditions, Saccharomyces cerevisiae has served for many years as an ideal platform in which to study, develop, and apply a wide range of optogenetic systems. In many instances, yeast has been used as a steppingstone in which to characterize and optimize optogenetic tools to later be deployed in higher eukaryotes. More recently, however, optogenetic tools have been developed and deployed in yeast specifically for biotechnological applications, including in nonconventional yeasts. In this review, we summarize various optogenetic systems responding to different wavelengths of light that have been demonstrated in diverse yeast species. We then describe various applications of these optogenetic tools in yeast, particularly in metabolic engineering and recombinant protein production. Finally, we discuss emerging applications in yeast cybergenetics—the interfacing of yeast and computers for closed-loop controls of yeast bioprocesses—and the potential impact of optogenetics in other future biotechnological applications.

Data for Rewiring Yeast Metabolism for Producing 2,3-Butanediol and Two Downstream Applications: Techno-Economic Analysis and Life Cycle Assessment of Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) and Agricultural Biostimulant Production

Rising concerns for sustainability and global climate change have driven the development of sustainable production pathways for biofuels and chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass via integrated biological and chemical processes. We constructed an engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae capable of producing 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BDO) from glucose without accumulating ethanol and glycerol, which hinder downstream processing of 2,3-BDO, through extensive metabolic reprogramming. Specifically, we introduced heterologous 2,3-BDO biosynthetic enzymes and deleted the major isozymes of ethanol and glycerol biosynthetic enzymes. In addition, we introduced an NAD+ regenerating Pyruvate-Malate (PM) cycle and enhanced the NAD+ regenerating capability of the PM cycle to resolve the redox imbalance from the deletion of ethanol and glycerol production pathways. The resulting engineered yeast produced 109.9 g/L of 2,3-BDO with a productivity of 1.0 g/L/h and a yield of 0.36 g/g glucose in a fed-batch fermentation. We also conducted techno-economic analysis (TEA) and life cycle assessment (LCA) of the production of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) through catalytic dehydration of 2,3-BDO. A TEA based on the experimental results indicated that the minimum product selling price (MPSP) was estimated to be $1.90/kg. Regarding cradle-to-grave LCA, 100-year global warming potential (GWP100) and fossil energy consumption (FEC) were found to be 0.37 kg CO2 eq/kg and 3.1 MJ/kg, respectively. These results demonstrated the feasibility of cost-competitive and sustainable bio-based MEK production via yeast fermentation. In addition, we explored the possibility of using the fermentation broth containing 2,3-BDO as a biostimulant inducing drought tolerance in plants. As a result, the yeast 2,3-BDO fermentation broth can induce drought tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana without a complicated purification process.

Data for Metabolic Engineering of Nonmodel Yeast Issatchenkia orientalis SD108 for 5-Aminolevulinic Acid Production

Biological production of 5‐aminolevulinic acid (5‐ALA) has received growing attentionover theyears.However, thereis the tradeoff between 5‐ALA biosynthesis and cell growth because the fermentation broth will become acidic due to the production of 5‐ALA. To address this limitation, we engineered an acid‐tolerant yeast, Issatchenkia orientalis SD108, for 5‐ALA production. We first discovered that the cell growth rate of I. orientalis SD108 was boosted by 5‐ALA and its endogenous ALA synthetase (ALAS) showed higher activity than those homologs from other yeasts. The titer of 5‐ALA was improved from 28mg/L to 120‐, 150‐, and 300mg/L, by optimizing plasmid design, overexpressing a transporter, and increasing gene copy number, respectively. After redirecting the metabolic flux using the pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) knockout strain (SD108ΔPDC) and culturing with urea, we increased the titer of 5‐ALA to 510mg/L, a 13‐fold enhancement, proving the importance of the newly identified IoALAS with higher activity and the strategic selection of nitrogen sources for knockout strains. This study demonstrates the acid‐tolerant I. orientalis SD108ΔPDC has a high potential for 5‐ALA production at a large scale in the future.

Data for Resourceful and Economical Designing of Fermentation Medium for Lab and Commercial Strains of Yeast from Alternative Feedstock: Transgenic Oilcane

Sugarcane plant engineered to accumulate lipids in its vegetative tissue is being developed as a new bioenergy crop. The new crop would be a source of juice, oil, and cellulosic sugars. However, limited tolerance of industrially recognized yeasts towards inhibitors generated during the processing of lignocellulosic biomass to produce fermentable sugars is a major challenge in developing scalable processes for second-generation drop-in fuel production. To this end, hydrolysates generated from engineered sugarcane—‘oilcane’ bagasse contain added phenolics and fatty acids that further restrict the growth of fermenting microorganisms and necessitate nutrient supplementation and/or detoxification of hydrolysate which makes the fermentation process expensive. Herein, we propose a resourceful and economical approach for growing lab and commercial strains of S. cerevisiae on unrefined cellulosic sugars aerobically and fermentatively. An equal ratio of hydrolysate and juice was found optimum for growth and fermentation by lab and commercial strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae engineered for xylose fermentation. The industrial strain grew and fermented efficiently under low aeration conditions having an ethanol titer, yield, specific and volumetric productivities of 46.96 ± 0.19 g/l, 0.51 ± 0.00 g/g, 0.27 ± 0.02 g/g.h and 1.95 ± 0.01 g/l.h, respectively, while the lab strain grew better under higher aeration conditions having the ethanol titer, yield, specific and volumetric productivities of 24.93 ± 0.09, 0.27 ± 0.00 g/g, 0.17 ± 0.00 g/g.h and 1.04 ± 0.00 g/l.h, respectively. Acclimation of cultures in a blended medium significantly improved the performance of the yeast strains. The addition of transgenic oilcane juice, which is inedible and rich in amino acids, to the hydrolysate averted the need for expensive nutrient supplementation and detoxification steps of hydrolysate. The approach provides an economical solution to reduce the cost of fermentation at an industrial scale for second-generation drop-in fuel production.

Evaluating isoprenol production using the IPP-bypass pathway in the oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides

Background To strengthen the national energy supply, there is an increasing demand for domestically generated aviation fuels. Bio-derived advanced aviation fuels offer the opportunity to meet this domestic need while presenting a unique opportunity to investigate the production of novel aviation fuels. Isoprenol, a chemical precursor to such novel fuels, has been shown to be a biologically producible compound in model organisms, but its bio-producibility needs to be further explored in organisms more compatible with industrial bioproduction. Results In this work, we evaluate isoprenol production using the promising bioproduction yeast, Rhodosporidium toruloides. First, we show successful isoprenol production using the IPP-bypass pathways most successful in laboratory strains of E. coli and S. cerevisiae. Next, we demonstrate that increased flux through the mevalonate pathway only modestly increases isoprenol titers. Using proteomics, we identified a potential bottleneck in production at the final step in the IPP-bypass pathway and explored alternative enzymes for this step. Finally, the top three strains of R. toruloides were evaluated in sorghum hydrolysates generated using cholinium lysinate. Through this work, 93.1 mg/L of isoprenol was produced in mock medium and 27.3 mg/L in sorghum hydrolysates. Conclusion Together these results lay the foundation for future work for the production of isoprenol from bioproduction crops.

Hydrothermal conditioning of oleaginous yeast cells to enable recovery of lipids as potential drop-in fuel precursors

Abstract Background Lipids produced using oleaginous yeast cells are an emerging feedstock to manufacture commercially valuable oleochemicals ranging from pharmaceuticals to lipid-derived biofuels. Production of biofuels using oleaginous yeast is a multistep procedure that requires yeast cultivation and harvesting, lipid recovery, and conversion of the lipids to biofuels. The quantitative recovery of the total intracellular lipid from the yeast cells is a critical step during the development of a bioprocess. Their rigid cell walls often make them resistant to lysis. The existing methods include mechanical, chemical, biological and thermochemical lysis of yeast cell walls followed by solvent extraction. In this study, an aqueous thermal pretreatment was explored as a method for lysing the cell wall of the oleaginous yeast Rhodotorula toruloides for lipid recovery. Results Hydrothermal pretreatment for 60 min at 121 °C with a dry cell weight of 7% (w/v) in the yeast slurry led to a recovery of 84.6 ± 3.2% (w/w) of the total lipids when extracted with organic solvents. The conventional sonication and acid-assisted thermal cell lysis led to a lipid recovery yield of 99.8 ± 0.03% (w/w) and 109.5 ± 1.9% (w/w), respectively. The fatty acid profiles of the hydrothermally pretreated cells and freeze-dried control were similar, suggesting that the thermal lysis of the cells did not degrade the lipids. Conclusion This work demonstrates that hydrothermal pretreatment of yeast cell slurry at 121 °C for 60 min is a robust and sustainable method for cell conditioning to extract intracellular microbial lipids for biofuel production and provides a baseline for further scale-up and process integration.

Machine learning reveals genes impacting oxidative stress resistance across yeasts

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive molecules encountered by yeasts during routine metabolism and during interactions with other organisms, including host infection. Here, we characterized the variation in resistance to ROS across the ancient yeast subphylum Saccharomycotina and used machine learning (ML) to identify gene families whose sizes were predictive of ROS resistance.

Exploring Saccharomycotina Yeast Ecology Through an Ecological Ontology Framework

Yeasts in the subphylum Saccharomycotina are found across the globe in disparate ecosystems. A major aim of yeast research is to understand the diversity and evolution of ecological traits, such as carbon metabolic breadth, insect association, and cactophily. This includes studying aspects of ecological traits like genetic architecture or association with other phenotypic traits. Genomic resources in the Saccharomycotina have grown rapidly. Ecological data, however, are still limited for many species, especially those only known from species descriptions where usually only a limited number of strains are studied. Moreover, ecological information is recorded in natural language format limiting high throughput computational analysis. To address these limitations, we developed an ontological framework for the analysis of yeast ecology. A total of 1,088 yeast strains were added to the Ontology of Yeast Environments (OYE) and analyzed in a machine-learning framework to connect genotype to ecology. This framework is flexible and can be extended to additional isolates, species, or environmental sequencing data. Widespread adoption of OYE would greatly aid the study of macroecology in the Saccharomycotina subphylum.

Leveraging 13C-Labeling to Assign Molecular Formulas to Unknown Yeast Metabolites

Mass spectrometry analyses have identified tens of thousands of unknown small molecule-associated peaks in different biological specimens. Notably, even the simplest and best studied organisms like Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae yield thousands of unknown peaks. A key question is how many of these reflect actual novel endogenous metabolites. To explore this, Mahieu and Patti used complete 13 C -labeling in E. coli to credential peaks as biological. This reduced the number of unknowns by more than 90%. Here, we carry out similar uniform 13 C-labeling in the Baker’s yeast S. cerevisiae and two less-studied bioenergy-relevant yeasts Rhodotorula toruloides (lipid producer) and Issatchenkia orientalis (organic acid producer). Identification of unknown metabolite peaks and their molecular formulas is facilitated through software tailored for 13 C labeling data and resulting knowledge of carbon atom count. A classification model evaluates the plausibility of each candidate formula, with peaks lacking plausible candidate formulas unlikely to reflect metabolite molecular ions. This approach prioritizes about one hundred candidate abundant unknown metabolites with logical molecular formulas. Most of these are species-specific rather than conserved across yeasts, and more are found in the nonmodel yeasts than S. cerevisiae. Thus, 13 C-labeling data on unknown metabolites highlights the potential for discovering new metabolites and pathways in nonmodel yeasts.

The oleaginous yeast Cutaneotrichosporon oleaginosum modifies corn stover alkali lignin

The current paradigm in synthetic biology for lignin bioconversion platforms includes primarily bacteria and filamentous fungi. Yeast are notoriously understudied for their role in lignin degradation and utilization, despite their ubiquity in saprophytic microbial communities. A few publications report lignin-modifying yeasts, but investigations to date have relied on model aromatic compounds or lignin-containing substrates replete with other carbon sources. In this work, we use a suite of analytical tools to evaluate interactions between corn stover-extracted lignin and the oleaginous yeast Cutaneotrichosporon oleaginosum. Notably, 2D-NMR analysis showed a significant decrease in the H-lignin component as well as resinol (β-β) and phenylcoumaran (β-5) linkages. Using super-resolution fluorescence microscopy, we demonstrated that this yeast may uptake polymeric lignin and/or undertakes interactions at the cellular envelope. To explore mechanisms of lignin modification, transport, and aromatics catabolism, extensive secretomics and proteomics analyses were conducted. Compared to carbon-limited glucose and “No Carbon” controls, several putative laccases, quinone reductases, superoxide dismutases, and glyoxal/oxalate oxidases were upregulated in the lignin condition. Excitingly, two ferric reductases and an oxalate exchanger were only observed in the lignin condition. These results indicate that C. oleaginosum may perform extracellular quinone redox cycling to generate lignin-modifying reactive oxygen species. These findings enhance our understanding of yeast-lignin interactions and provide valuable insights for validation studies and metabolic engineering.

Switchgrass Steroidal Saponins Reduce Fungal Disease but Decrease Yeast Fermentation Yield

Increasing the production of bioproducts from lignocellulosic feedstocks requires improvement in both field production and biorefinery efficiency. When plant traits arise that improve field production but decrease biofuel yield, these trade-offs can represent challenges in the entire production process. To examine trade-offs between field and production traits, we examined factors underlying switchgrass resistance to fungal rust pathogens in field conditions and factors that impede yeast fermentation in the lab using repeated measurements on a switchgrass genetic diversity panel. We found that the same switchgrass genotypes that showed high fungal pathogen resistance also showed recalcitrance to yeast fermentation. These switchgrass genotypes were mostly from the Atlantic genetic group, which had high levels of specialized metabolites of the saponin class. Among 1589 metabolites identified through metabolomics, we found that saponins were among the most likely to explain variation in both rust infection and fermentation yield using random forest feature selection, and that only four of these were sufficient to explain 57.9% of the variation in rust susceptibility. Through follow-up testing in recalcitrant biomass, we found that the bacterium Zymomonas mobilis does not suffer the same inhibition as the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and that the addition of ergosterol (thought to be the fungal cellular target of saponin inhibition) rescues yeast fermentation. Several lines of evidence point to a central role for saponins as key metabolites protecting switchgrass from fungal pathogens and interfering with yeast fermentation, underscoring an ongoing need for collaboration between plant breeders and biofuel production scientists.

Unique trajectory of gene family evolution from genomic analysis of nearly all known species in an ancient yeast lineage

Gene gains and losses are a major driver of genome evolution; their precise characterization can provide insights into the origin and diversification of major lineages. Here, we examined gene family evolution of 1154 genomes from nearly all known species in the medically and technologically important yeast subphylum Saccharomycotina. We found that yeast gene family evolution differs from that of plants, animals, and filamentous ascomycetes, and is characterized by smaller overall gene numbers yet larger gene family sizes for a given gene number. Faster-evolving lineages (FELs) in yeasts experienced significantly higher rates of gene losses—commensurate with a narrowing of metabolic niche breadth—but higher speciation rates than their slower-evolving sister lineages (SELs). Gene families most often lost are those involved in mRNA splicing, carbohydrate metabolism, and cell division and are likely associated with intron loss, metabolic breadth, and non-canonical cell cycle processes. Our results highlight the significant role of gene family contractions in the evolution of yeast metabolism, genome function, and speciation, and suggest that gene family evolutionary trajectories have differed markedly across major eukaryotic lineages.

Oleaginous Yeast Biology Elucidated With Comparative Transcriptomics

ABSTRACT Extremophilic yeasts have favorable metabolic and tolerance traits for biomanufacturing‐ like lipid biosynthesis, flavinogenesis, and halotolerance – yet the connection between these favorable phenotypes and strain genotype is not well understood. To this end, this study compares the phenotypes and gene expression patterns of biotechnologically relevant yeasts Yarrowia lipolytica , Debaryomyces hansenii , and Debaryomyces subglobosus grown under nitrogen starvation, iron starvation, and salt stress. To analyze the large data set across species and conditions, two approaches were used: a “network‐first” approach where a generalized metabolic network serves as a scaffold for mapping genes and a “cluster‐first” approach where unsupervised machine learning co‐expression analysis clusters genes. Both approaches provide insight into strain behavior. The network‐first approach corroborates that Yarrowia upregulates lipid biosynthesis during nitrogen starvation and provides new evidence that riboflavin overproduction in Debaryomyces yeasts is overflow metabolism that is routed to flavin cofactor production under salt stress. The cluster‐first approach does not rely on annotation; therefore, the coexpression analysis can identify known and novel genes involved in stress responses, mainly transcription factors and transporters. Therefore, this work links the genotype to the phenotype of biotechnologically relevant yeasts and demonstrates the utility of complementary computational approaches to gain insight from transcriptomics data across species and conditions.

A trait syndrome ties cell morphology to glycolysis across the yeast subphylum

Co-variation of traits provides fundamental insights into constraints governing their evolution. An inverse correlation between glucose uptake rates (GURs) and cell surface area-to-volume (SA:V) ratios across 11 yeast species was recently reported. Here, we expand the analysis to 282 species to assess the generalizability of this correlation across Saccharomycotina yeasts and the contribution of shared evolutionary history to the co-variation of these traits. Using phylogenetic regression models, we found extracellular acidification rates (ECARs, used as a proxy for GURs) were weakly, but significantly, correlated with SA:V across Saccharomycotina. ECARs were also correlated with genome sizes and growth rates. Our findings support the reported correlation between GURs and SA:V ratios, but suggest other associated traits, including genome sizes. Specifically, yeasts that consume glucose faster tend to have lower SA:V, faster growth rates, and larger genomes, suggesting a trait syndrome governing several metabolic, genomic, and morphological traits across the yeast subphylum.

Diverse signatures of convergent evolution in cactus-associated yeasts

Many distantly related organisms have convergently evolved traits and lifestyles that enable them to live in similar ecological environments. However, the extent of phenotypic convergence evolving through the same or distinct genetic trajectories remains an open question. Here, we leverage a comprehensive dataset of genomic and phenotypic data from 1,049 yeast species in the subphylum Saccharomycotina (Kingdom Fungi, Phylum Ascomycota) to explore signatures of convergent evolution in cactophilic yeasts, ecological specialists associated with cacti. We inferred that the ecological association of yeasts with cacti arose independently approximately 17 times. Using a machine learning–based approach, we further found that cactophily can be predicted with 76% accuracy from both functional genomic and phenotypic data. The most informative feature for predicting cactophily was thermotolerance, which we found to be likely associated with altered evolutionary rates of genes impacting the cell envelope in several cactophilic lineages. We also identified horizontal gene transfer and duplication events of plant cell wall–degrading enzymes in distantly related cactophilic clades, suggesting that putatively adaptive traits evolved independently through disparate molecular mechanisms. Notably, we found that multiple cactophilic species and their close relatives have been reported as emerging human opportunistic pathogens, suggesting that the cactophilic lifestyle—and perhaps more generally lifestyles favoring thermotolerance—might preadapt yeasts to cause human disease. This work underscores the potential of a multifaceted approach involving high-throughput genomic and phenotypic data to shed light onto ecological adaptation and highlights how convergent evolution to wild environments could facilitate the transition to human pathogenicity.

Study of impacts of two types of cellular aging on the yeast bud morphogenesis

Understanding the mechanisms of the cellular aging processes is crucial for attempting to extend organismal lifespan and for studying age-related degenerative diseases. Yeast cells divide through budding, providing a classical biological model for studying cellular aging. With their powerful genetics, relatively short cell cycle, and well-established signaling pathways also found in animals, yeast cells offer valuable insights into the aging process. Recent experiments suggested the existence of two aging modes in yeast characterized by nucleolar and mitochondrial declines, respectively. By analyzing experimental data, this study shows that cells evolving into those two aging modes behave differently when they are young. While buds grow linearly in both modes, cells that consistently generate spherical buds throughout their lifespan demonstrate greater efficacy in controlling bud size and growth rate at young ages. A three-dimensional multiscale chemical-mechanical model was developed and used to suggest and test hypothesized impacts of aging on bud morphogenesis. Experimentally calibrated model simulations showed that during the early stage of budding, tubular bud shape in one aging mode could be generated by locally inserting new materials at the bud tip, a process guided by the polarized Cdc42 signal. Furthermore, the aspect ratio of the tubular bud could be stabilized during the late stage as observed in experiments in this work. The model simulation results suggest that the localization of new cell surface material insertion, regulated by chemical signal polarization, could be weakened due to cellular aging in yeast and other cell types, leading to the change and stabilization of the bud aspect ratio.

Fabrication of yeast engineered porous 13X adsorbent layers for CO 2 capture

This study investigates a novel environmentally friendly coating technique using yeast fermentation to obtain super porous Zeolite 13X adsorbent layers through freeze-drying technique for CO 2 capture applications. Several mass ratios of sugar to yeast were used to control the porosity and pore sizes in the adsorbent layer. A unique peeling process was integrated to obtain foamy, hollow structures to have deeper layer accessibility of adsorbent for adsorption applications. These coated adsorbent layers were experimentally characterized as a function of the mass ratio of sugar to yeast and adsorbent solid fraction. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) are used to analyze the coated layers. Here, the void fraction for coated samples is found to vary between 0.48 and 0.56, making the samples applicable for adsorption applications. Adsorption performance experiments are performed to test the coated samples' performance compared to 13X powder. Due to their simplistic fabrication, cost-effectiveness, rapid pore formation, and high adsorption capacity, these porous 13X layers hold potential for large-scale fabrication and CO 2 capture applications.
