Abstract
Organisms have evolved elaborate physiological pathways that regulate growth, proliferation, metabolism, and stress response. These pathways must be properly coordinated to elicit the appropriate response to an ever-changing environment. While individual pathways have been well studied in a variety of model systems, there remains much to uncover about how pathways are integrated to produce systemic changes in a cell, especially in dynamic conditions. We previously showed that deletion of Protein Kinase A (PKA) regulatory subunit BCY1 can decouple growth and metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae engineered for anaerobic xylose fermentation, allowing for robust fermentation in the absence of division. This provides an opportunity to understand how PKA signaling normally coordinates these processes. Here, we integrated transcriptomic, lipidomic, and phospho-proteomic responses upon a glucose to xylose shift across a series of strains with different genetic mutations promoting either coupled or decoupled xylose-dependent growth and metabolism. Together, results suggested that defects in lipid homeostasis limit growth in the bcy1Δ strain despite robust metabolism. To further understand this mechanism, we performed adaptive laboratory evolutions to re-evolve coupled growth and metabolism in the bcy1Δ parental strain. The evolved strain harbored mutations in PKA subunit TPK1 and lipid regulator OPI1, among other genes, and evolved changes in lipid profiles and gene expression. Deletion of the evolved opi1 gene partially reverted the strain's phenotype to the bcy1Δ parent, with reduced growth and robust xylose fermentation. We suggest several models for how cells coordinate growth, metabolism, and other responses in budding yeast and how restructuring these processes enables anaerobic xylose utilization.

Abstract
Despite a growing preference for second-generation (2G) ethanol in industries, its application is severely restricted owing to a major obstacle of developing a suitable yeast strain for fermentation using feedstock biomasses. In this study, a yeast strain, Saccharomyces cerevisiae A31Z, for 2G bioethanol production was developed from an industrial strain, Angel, using metabolic engineering by the incorporation of gene clusters involved in the xylose metabolism combined with adaptive evolution for evolving its anti-inhibitory properties. This strain outcompeted its ancestors in xylose utilization and subsequent ethanol production and manifested higher tolerance against common inhibitors from lignocellulosic hydrolysates, and also it lowered the production of glycerol by-product. Furthermore, A31Z outperformed in ethanol production using industrial hydrolysate from dried distillers grains with solubles and whole corn. Overall, this study provided a promising path for improving 2G bioethanol production in industries using S. cerevisiae.

Abstract
Saccharomyces cerevisiae has good reproductive ability in both haploid and diploid forms, a pyruvate decarboxylase plays an important role in S. cerevisiae cell metabolism. In this study, pdc1 and pdc5 double knockout strains of S. cerevisiae H14-02 (MATa type) and S. cerevisiae H5-02 (MATα type) were obtained by the Cre/loxP technique. The effects of the deletion of pdc1 and pdc5 on the metabolites of the two haploid S. cerevisiae strains were consistent. In S. cerevisiae H14-02, the ethanol conversion decreased by 30.19%, the conversion of glycerol increased by 40.005%, the concentration of acetic acid decreased by 43.54%, the concentration of acetoin increased by 12.79 times, and the activity of pyruvate decarboxylase decreased by 40.91% compared to those in the original H14 strain. The original S. cerevisiae haploid strain H14 produced a small amount of acetoin but produced very little 2,3-butanediol. However, S. cerevisiae H14-02 produced 1.420 ± 0.063 g/L 2,3-BD. This study not only provides strain selection for obtaining haploid strains with a high yield of 2,3-BD but also lays a foundation for haploid S. cerevisiae to be used as a new tool for genetic research and breeding programs.

Abstract
Being a microbial host for lignocellulosic biofuel production, Saccharomyces cerevisiae needs to be engineered to express a heterologous xylose pathway; however, it has been challenging to optimize the engineered strain for efficient and rapid fermentation of xylose. Deletion of PHO13 (Δpho13) has been reported to be a crucial genetic perturbation in improving xylose fermentation. A confirmed mechanism of the Δpho13 effect on xylose fermentation is that the Δpho13 transcriptionally activates the genes in the non-oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (PPP). In the current study, we found a couple of engineered strains, of which phenotypes were not affected by Δpho13 (Δpho13-negative), among many others we examined. Genome resequencing of the Δpho13-negative strains revealed that a loss-of-function mutation in GCR2 was responsible for the phenotype. Gcr2 is a global transcriptional factor involved in glucose metabolism. The results of RNA-seq confirmed that the deletion of GCR2 (Δgcr2) led to the upregulation of PPP genes as well as downregulation of glycolytic genes, and changes were more significant under xylose conditions than those under glucose conditions. Although there was no synergistic effect between Δpho13 and Δgcr2 in improving xylose fermentation, these results suggested that GCR2 is a novel knockout target in improving lignocellulosic ethanol production.

Abstract
The reported haploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain F106 can utilize xylose for ethanol production. After a series of XR and/or XDH mutations were introduced into F106, the XR-K270R mutant was found to outperform others. The corresponding haploid, diploid, and triploid strains were then constructed and their fermentation performance was compared. Strains F106-KR and the diploid produced an ethanol yield of 0.45 and 0.48 g/g total sugars, respectively, in simulated corn hydrolysates within 36 h. Using non-detoxicated corncob hydrolysate as the substrate, the ethanol yield with the triploid was approximately sevenfold than that of the diploid at 40°C. After a comprehensive evaluation of growth on corn stover hydrolysates pretreated with diluted acid or alkali and different substrate concentrations, ethanol yields of the triploid strain were consistently higher than those of the diploid using acid-pretreatment. These results demonstrate that the yeast chromosomal copy number is positively correlated with increased ethanol production under our experimental conditions.

Abstract
Cost-effective production of cellulosic ethanol requires robust microorganisms for rapid co-fermentation of glucose and xylose. This study aims to develop a recombinant diploid xylose-fermenting Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain for efficient conversion of lignocellulosic biomass sugars to ethanol. Episomal plasmids harboring codon-optimized Piromyces sp. E2 xylose isomerase (PirXylA) and Orpinomyces sp. ukk1 xylose (OrpXylA) genes were constructed and transformed into S. cerevisiae. The strain harboring plasmids with tandem PirXylA was favorable for xylose utilization when xylose was used as the sole carbon source, while the strain harboring plasmids with tandem OrpXylA was beneficial for glucose and xylose cofermentation. PirXylA and OrpXylA genes were also individually integrated into the genome of yeast strains in multiple copies. Such integration was beneficial for xylose alcoholic fermentation. The respiration-deficient strain carrying episomal or integrated OrpXylA genes exhibited the best performance for glucose and xylose co-fermentation. This was partly attributed to the high expression levels and activities of xylose isomerase. Mating a respiration-efficient strain carrying the integrated PirXylA gene with a respiration-deficient strain harboring integrated OrpXylA generated a diploid recombinant xylose-fermenting yeast strain STXQ with enhanced cell growth and xylose fermentation. Co-fermentation of 162 g L−1 glucose and 95 g L−1 xylose generated 120.6 g L−1 ethanol in 23 h, with sugar conversion higher than 99%, ethanol yield of 0.47 g g−1, and ethanol productivity of 5.26 g L−1·h−1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an important eukaryotic workhorse in traditional and modern biotechnology. At present, only a few S. cerevisiae strains have been extensively used as engineering hosts. Recently, an astonishing genotypic and phenotypic diversity of S. cerevisiae was disclosed in natural populations. We suppose that some natural strains can be recruited as superior host candidates in bioengineering. This study engineered a natural S. cerevisiae strain with advantages in inulin utilization to produce ethanol from inulin resources by consolidated bioprocess. Rational engineering strategies were employed, including secretive co-expression of heterologous exo- and endo-inulinases, repression of a protease, and switch between haploid and diploid strains. RESULTS Results from co-expressing endo- and exo-inulinase genes showed that the extracellular inulinase activity increased 20 to 30-fold in engineered S. cerevisiae strains. Repression of the protease PEP4 influenced cell physiology in late stationary phase. Comparison between haploid and diploid engineered strains indicated that diploid strains were superior to haploid strains in ethanol production albeit not in production and secretion of inulinases. Ethanol fermentation from both inulin and Jerusalem artichoke tuber powder was dramatically improved in most engineered strains. Ethanol yield achieved in the ultimate diploid strain JZD-InuMKCP was close to the theoretical maximum. Productivity achieved in the strain JZD-InuMKCP reached to 2.44 and 3.13 g/L/h in fermentation from 200 g/L inulin and 250 g/L raw Jerusalem artichoke tuber powder, respectively. To our knowledge, these are the highest productivities reported up to now in ethanol fermentation from inulin resources. CONCLUSIONS Although model S. cerevisiae strains are preferentially used as hosts in bioengineering, some natural strains do have specific excellent properties. This study successfully engineered a natural S. cerevisiae strain for efficient ethanol production from inulin resources by consolidated bioprocess, which indicated the feasibility of natural strains used as bioengineering hosts. This study also presented different properties in enzyme secretion and ethanol fermentation between haploid and diploid engineering strains. These findings provided guidelines for host selection in bioengineering.

Abstract
The industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae IR-2 is a promising host strain to genetically engineer xylose-utilizing yeasts for ethanol fermentation from lignocellulosic hydrolysates. Two IR-2-based haploid strains were selected based upon the rate of xylulose fermentation, and hybrids were obtained by mating recombinant haploid strains harboring heterogeneous xylose dehydrogenase (XDH) (wild-type NAD(+)-dependent XDH or engineered NADP(+)-dependent XDH, ARSdR), xylose reductase (XR) and xylulose kinase (XK) genes. ARSdR in the hybrids selected for growth rates on yeast extract-peptone-dextrose (YPD) agar and YP-xylose agar plates typically had a higher activity than NAD(+)-dependent XDH. Furthermore, the xylose-fermenting performance of the hybrid strain SE12 with the same level of heterogeneous XDH activity was similar to that of a recombinant strain of IR-2 harboring a single set of genes, XR/ARSdR/XK. These results suggest not only that the recombinant haploid strains retain the appropriate genetic background of IR-2 for ethanol production from xylose but also that ARSdR is preferable for xylose fermentation.
