| Sumario: | Yeasts constitute over 1,500 species with great potential for biotechnology. Still, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae dominates industrial applications, and many alternative physiological capabilities of lesser-known yeasts are not being fully exploited. While comparative genomics receives substantial attention, little is known about yeasts’ metabolic specificity in batch cultures. Here, we propose a multiphase multiobjective dynamic genome-scale model of yeast batch cultures that describes the uptake of carbon and nitrogen sources and the production of primary and secondary metabolites. The model integrates a specific metabolic reconstruction, based on the consensus Yeast8, and a kinetic model describing the time-varying culture environment. In addition, we proposed a multiphase multiobjective flux balance analysis to compute the dynamics of intracellular fluxes. We then compared the metabolism of S. cerevisiae and Saccharomyces uvarum strains in a rich medium fermentation. The model successfully explained the experimental data and brought novel insights into how cryotolerant strains achieve redox balance. The proposed model (along with the corresponding code) provides a comprehensive picture of the main steps occurring inside the cell during batch cultures and offers a systematic approach to prospect or metabolically engineering novel yeast cell factories. |
