Abstract
The occurrence of random mutations can increase the diversity of the genome and promote the evolutionary process of organisms. High efficiency mutagenesis techniques significantly accelerate the evolutionary process. In this work, we describe a targeted mutagenesis system named MutaT7trans to significantly increase mutation rate and generate mutations across all four nucleotides in yeast. We constructed different DNA-repairing enzyme-PmCDA1-T7 RNA polymerase (T7 RNAP) fusion proteins, achieved targeted mutagenesis by flanking the target gene with T7 promoters, and tuned the mutation spectra by introducing different DNA-repairing enzymes. With this mutagenesis tool, the proportion of non-C → T mutations was 10-11-fold higher than the cytidine deaminase-based evolutionary tools, and the transversion mutation frequency was also elevated. The mutation rate of the target gene was significantly increased to 5.25 × 10-3 substitutions per base (s. p. b.). We also demonstrated that MutaT7trans could be used to evolve the CrtE, CrtI, and CrtYB gene in the β-carotene biosynthesis process and generate different types of mutations.

Contributions of Adaptive Laboratory Evolution towards the Enhancement of the Biotechnological Potential of Non-Conventional Yeast Species. J Fungi (Basel) 2023; 9:jof9020186.

Abstract
Changes in biological properties over several generations, induced by controlling short-term evolutionary processes in the laboratory through selective pressure, and whole-genome re-sequencing, help determine the genetic basis of microorganism's adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE). Due to the versatility of this technique and the imminent urgency for alternatives to petroleum-based strategies, ALE has been actively conducted for several yeasts, primarily using the conventional species Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but also non-conventional yeasts. As a hot topic at the moment since genetically modified organisms are a debatable subject and a global consensus on their employment has not yet been attained, a panoply of new studies employing ALE approaches have emerged and many different applications have been exploited in this context. In the present review, we gathered, for the first time, relevant studies showing the ALE of non-conventional yeast species towards their biotechnological improvement, cataloging them according to the aim of the study, and comparing them considering the species used, the outcome of the experiment, and the employed methodology. This review sheds light on the applicability of ALE as a powerful tool to enhance species features and improve their performance in biotechnology, with emphasis on the non-conventional yeast species, as an alternative or in combination with genome editing approaches.

Abstract
Glutathione, a tripeptide consisting of cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine, has multiple beneficial effects on human health. Previous studies have focused on producing glutathione in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by overexpressing γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase (GSH1) and glutathione synthetase (GSH2), which are the rate-limiting enzymes involved in the glutathione biosynthetic pathway. However, the production yield and titer of glutathione remain low due to the feedback inhibition on GSH1. To overcome this limitation, a synthetic isozyme system consisting of a novel bifunctional enzyme (GshF) from Gram-positive bacteria possessing both GSH1 and GSH2 activities, in addition to GSH1/GSH2, was introduced into S. cerevisiae, as GshF is insensitive to feedback inhibition. Given the HSP60 chaperonin system mismatch between bacteria and S. cerevisiae, co-expression of Group-I HSP60 chaperonins (GroEL and GroES) from Escherichia coli was required for functional expression of GshF. Among various strains constructed in this study, the SKSC222 strain capable of synthesizing glutathione with the synthetic isozyme system produced 240 mg L-1 glutathione with glutathione content and yield of 4.3% and 25.6 mgglutathione /gglucose , respectively. These values were 6.6-, 4.9-, and 4.3-fold higher than the corresponding values of the wild-type strain. In a glucose-limited fed-batch fermentation, the SKSC222 strain produced 2.0 g L-1 glutathione in 67 h. Therefore, this study highlights the benefits of the synthetic isozyme system in enhancing the production titer and yield of value-added chemicals by engineered strains of S. cerevisiae.

Abstract
Glutathione is of great significance in pharmaceutical and health fields, and one-step synthesis of reduced glutathione by glutathione bifunctional synthase has become a focus of research. The stability of glutathione bifunctional synthase is generally poor and urgently needs to be modified. The B-factor strategy and un/folding free energy calculation were both applied to enhance the thermal stability of glutathione bifunctional synthase from Streptococcus agalactiae (GshFSA). Based on the concept of B-factor strategy, we calculated the B-factor by molecular dynamics simulation to find flexible residues, performed point saturation mutations and high-throughput screening. At the same time, we also calculated the un/folding free energy of GshFSA and performed the point mutations. The optimal mutant from the B-factor strategy was R270S, which had a 2.62-fold increase in half-life period compared to the wild type, and the Q406M was the optimal mutant from the un/folding free energy calculation, with a 3.02-fold increase in half-life period. Both of them have provided a mechanistic explanation.

Abstract
Adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) is an innovative approach for the generation of evolved microbial strains with desired characteristics, by implementing the rules of natural selection as presented in the Darwinian Theory, on the laboratory bench. New as it might be, it has already been used by several researchers for the amelioration of a variety of characteristics of widely used microorganisms in biotechnology. ALE is used as a tool for the deeper understanding of the genetic and/or metabolic pathways of evolution. Another important field targeted by ALE is the manufacturing of products of (high) added value, such as ethanol, butanol and lipids. In the current review, we discuss the basic principles and techniques of ALE, and then we focus on studies where it has been applied to bacteria, fungi and microalgae, aiming to improve their performance to biotechnological procedures and/or inspect the genetic background of evolution. We conclude that ALE is a promising and efficacious method that has already led to the acquisition of useful new microbiological strains in biotechnology and could possibly offer even more interesting results in the future.

Abstract
To mitigate global climate change caused partly by the use of fossil fuels, the production of fuels and chemicals from renewable biomass has been attempted. The conversion of various sugars from renewable biomass into biofuels by engineered baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is one major direction which has grown dramatically in recent years. As well as shifting away from fossil fuels, the production of commodity chemicals by engineered S. cerevisiae has also increased significantly. The traditional approaches of biochemical and metabolic engineering to develop economic bioconversion processes in laboratory and industrial settings have been accelerated by rapid advancements in the areas of yeast genomics, synthetic biology, and systems biology. Together, these innovations have resulted in rapid and efficient manipulation of S. cerevisiae to expand fermentable substrates and diversify value-added products. Here, we discuss recent and major advances in rational (relying on prior experimentally-derived knowledge) and combinatorial (relying on high-throughput screening and genomics) approaches to engineer S. cerevisiae for producing ethanol, butanol, 2,3-butanediol, fatty acid ethyl esters, isoprenoids, organic acids, rare sugars, antioxidants, and sugar alcohols from glucose, xylose, cellobiose, galactose, acetate, alginate, mannitol, arabinose, and lactose.

Acrolein-stressed threshold adaptation alters the molecular and metabolic bases of an engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae to improve glutathione production. Sci Rep 2018.

Abstract
Acrolein (Acr) was used as a selection agent to improve the glutathione (GSH) overproduction of the prototrophic strain W303-1b/FGPPT. After two rounds of adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE), an unexpected result was obtained wherein identical GSH production was observed in the selected isolates. Then, a threshold selection mechanism of Acr-stressed adaption was clarified based on the formation of an Acr-GSH adduct, and a diffusion coefficient (0.36 ± 0.02 μmol·min−1·OD600−1) was calculated. Metabolomic analysis was carried out to reveal the molecular bases that triggered GSH overproduction. The results indicated that all three precursors (glutamic acid (Glu), glycine (Gly) and cysteine (Cys)) needed for GSH synthesis were at a relativity higher concentration in the evolved strain and that the accumulation of homocysteine (Hcy) and cystathionine might promote Cys synthesis and then improve GSH production. In addition to GSH and Cys, it was observed that other non-protein thiols and molecules related to ATP generation were at obviously different levels. To divert the accumulated thiols to GSH biosynthesis, combinatorial strategies, including deletion of cystathionine β-lyase (STR3), overexpression of cystathionine γ-lyase (CYS3) and cystathionine β-synthase (CYS4), and reduction of the unfolded protein response (UPR) through up-regulation of protein disulphide isomerase (PDI), were also investigated.

Abstract
Zinc is a crucial mineral for all organisms as it is an essential cofactor for the proper function of a plethora of proteins and depletion of zinc causes oxidative stress. Glutathione is the major redox buffering agent in the cell and therefore important for mitigation of the adverse effects of oxidative stress. In mammalian cells, zinc deficiency is accompanied by a glutathione depletion. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the opposite effect is observed: under low zinc conditions, an elevated glutathione concentration is found. The main regulator to overcome zinc deficiency is Zap1p. However, we show that Zap1p is not involved in this glutathione accumulation phenotype. Furthermore, we found that in glutathione-accumulating strains also the metal ion-binding phytochelatin-2, which is an oligomer of glutathione, is accumulated. This increased phytochelatin concentration correlates with a lower free zinc level in the vacuole. These results suggest that phytochelatin is important for zinc buffering in S. cerevisiae and thus explains how zinc homeostasis is connected with glutathione metabolism.

Abstract
The genetic improvement of winemaking yeasts is a virtually infinite process, as the design of new strains must always cope with varied and ever-evolving production contexts. Good wine yeasts must feature both good primary traits, which are related to the overall fermentative fitness of the strain, and secondary traits, which provide accessory features augmenting its technological value. In this context, the superiority of "blind," genetic improvement techniques, as those based on the direct selection of the desired phenotype without prior knowledge of the genotype, was widely proven. Blind techniques such as adaptive evolution strategies were implemented for the enhancement of many traits of interest in the winemaking field. However, these strategies usually focus on single traits: this possibly leads to genetic tradeoff phenomena, where the selection of enhanced secondary traits might lead to sub-optimal primary fermentation traits. To circumvent this phenomenon, we applied a multi-step and strongly directed genetic improvement strategy aimed at combining a strong fermentative aptitude (primary trait) with an enhanced production of glutathione (secondary trait). We exploited the random genetic recombination associated to a library of 69 monosporic clones of strain UMCC 855 (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) to search for new candidates possessing both traits. This was achieved by consecutively applying three directional selective criteria: molybdate resistance (1), fermentative aptitude (2), and glutathione production (3). The strategy brought to the selection of strain 21T2-D58, which produces a high concentration of glutathione, comparable to that of other glutathione high-producers, still with a much greater fermentative aptitude.

Abstract
Adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) is an approach enabling the development of novel characteristics in microbial strains via the application of a constant selection pressure. This method is also an efficient tool to acquire insights on molecular mechanisms responsible for specific phenotypes. ALE experiments have mainly been conducted with heterotrophic microbes to study, for instance, cell metabolism with different multicarbon substrates, tolerance to solvents, pH variation, and high temperature. Here, we describe employing an ALE method to generate Sporomusa ovata strains growing faster autotrophically and reducing CO2 into acetate more efficiently. Strains developed via this ALE method were also used to gain knowledge on the autotrophic metabolism of S. ovata as well as other acetogenic bacteria.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) is the most abundant non-protein thiol in living organisms. Due to its important antioxidant role, it is widely used in medicine, as a food additive, and in the cosmetic industry. Recently, GSH has received growing attention in winemaking because of its ability to control oxidative spoilage damage and to protect various aromatic compounds. Indeed, GSH concentration in wine is highly variable and several factors are involved in its regulation, ranging from grape must to yeast fermentation activity. This short review aims at highlighting the common genetic strategies, useful for obtaining wine yeasts with enhanced GSH production, paying particular attention to the adaptive evolution approaches. Moreover, other strategies, such as random mutagenesis, metabolic engineering and hybridization have been briefly reviewed with a stress on both their strengths and weaknesses in terms of actual feasibility and acceptance by wine consumers.

Abstract
The 6th International Conference on Analysis of Microbial Cells at the Single Cell Level, held in Retz, Austria from 19 to 22 July 2015, brought together experts from different areas working with bacterial, yeast and mammalian cell systems. The conference highlighted the importance of dissecting cell behaviour down to the single cell level, as analysis of mixed populations can obscure crucial cell-to-cell variations. The sessions covered advances in the fields of image analysis and microscopy, flow cytometry and cell sorting as well as bioinformatics, including recent developments and new applications of existing tools. In addition, a high speed poster slam session contributed to the lively discussions and exchange of expertise among academic and industrial researchers.
