Abstract
This work describes the characterization of an artisanal sourdough set of bakeries located in the city of Valencia. Culture-dependent and -independent analyses detected Fructilactobacillus sanfranciscensis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kazachstania humilis as dominant species. Nevertheless, specific technological parameters, including backslopping temperature, dough yield, or the addition of salt affected microbial counting, LAB/Yeast ratio, and gassing performance, favouring the appearance of several species of Lactobacillus sp., Limosilactobacillus pontis or Torulaspora delbrueckii as additional players. Sourdough leavening activity was affected positively by yeast counts and negatively by the presence of salt. In addition, the predominance of a particular yeast species appeared to impact the dynamics of CO2 release. Seven important flavour-active compounds (ethyl acetate, 1-hexanol, 2-penthylfuran, 3-ethyl-2-methyl-1,3-hexadiene, 2-octen-1-ol, nonanal and 1-nonanol) were detected in all samples and together with 3-methyl butanol and hexyl acetate represented more than the 53% of volatile abundancy in nine of the ten sourdoughs analysed. Even so, the specific microbial composition of each sample influenced the volatile profile. For example, the occurrence of K. humilis or S. cerevisiae as dominant yeast influenced the composition of major alcohol species, while F. sanfranciscensis and L. pontis positively correlated with aldehydes and octanoic acid content. In addition, relevant correlations could be also found among different technological parameters and between these, volatile compounds and microbial species. Overall, our study emphasises on how differences in technological parameters generate biodiversity in a relatively small set of artisan sourdoughs providing opportunities for excellence and quality baking products.

Abstract
The increasing popularity of home brewing and the fast evolution of craft beer companies have fuelled the interest in novel yeasts as the main actors diversifying the beer portfolio. Here, we have characterized the thermal tolerance and brewing-related features of two sourdough (SD) isolates of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, SDy01 and SDy02, at different temperatures, 20 and 37 °C, comparing them with commercial brew strains, AaB and kNB. The SD strains exhibited tolerance to the main brewing-related stress conditions and increased growth rates and lower lag phases than the reference beer strains at both temperatures. Consistent with this, SDy01 and SDy02 displayed higher fermentative activity in terms of sugar rate depletion and the release of metabolic by-products. Moreover, SDy01 and SDy02 brewing at 20 °C increased their total amount of volatile compounds (VOCs), in particular, their esters and carboxyl compounds, as compared to the reference AaB strain. In contrast, fermentation at 37 °C resulted in a drastic reduction in the number of VOCs in wort fermented with SD yeast, especially in its level of esters. In conclusion, our results stress the high fermentative performance of SD strains in beer wort and their ability to provide a complex and specific aromatic profile at a wide range of temperatures.

Abstract
Horizontal transposon transfer (HTT) plays an important role in the evolution of eukaryotic genomes, however the detailed evolutionary history and impact of most HTT events remain to be elucidated. To better understand the process of HTT in closely-related microbial eukaryotes, we studied Ty4 retrotransposon subfamily content and sequence evolution across the genus Saccharomyces using short- and long-read whole genome sequence data, including new PacBio genome assemblies for two S. mikatae strains. We find evidence for multiple independent HTT events introducing the Tsu4 subfamily into specific lineages of S. paradoxus, S. cerevisiae, S. eubayanus, S. kudriavzevii and the ancestor of the S. mikatae/S. jurei species pair. In both S. mikatae and S. kudriavzevii, we identified novel Ty4 clades that were independently generated through recombination between resident and horizontally-transferred subfamilies. Our results reveal that recurrent HTT and lineage-specific extinction events lead to a complex pattern of Ty4 subfamily content across the genus Saccharomyces. Moreover, our results demonstrate how HTT can lead to coexistence of related retrotransposon subfamilies in the same genome that can fuel evolution of new retrotransposon clades via recombination.

Abstract
Sourdough fermentation, one of the oldest unit operations in food production, is currently experiencing a revival in bread production at the household, artisanal, and the industrial level. The expanding use of sourdough fermentation in bread production and the adaptation of fermentation to large scale industrial bread production also necessitate the development of novel starter cultures. Developments in the last years also have expanded the tools that are used to assess the metabolic potential of specific strains, species or genera of the Lactobacillaceae and have identified multiple ecological and metabolic traits as clade-specific. This review aims to provide an overview on the clade-specific metabolic potential of members of the Lactobacillaceae for use in sourdough baking, and the impact of these clade-specific traits on bread quality. Emphasis is placed on carbohydrate metabolism, including the conversion of sucrose and starch to soluble polysaccharides, conversion of amino acids, and the metabolism of organic acids. The current state of knowledge to compose multi-strain starter cultures (synthetic microbial communities) that are suitable for back-slopping will also be discussed. Taken together, the communication outlines the current tools for selection of microbes for use in sourdough baking.

Abstract
Acetic acid tolerance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an important trait in sourdough fermentation processes, where the accumulation of acid by the growth of lactic acid bacteria reduces the yeast metabolic activity. In this work, we have carried out adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) experiments in two sourdough isolates of S. cerevisiae exposed to acetic acid, or alternatively to acetic acid and myriocin, an inhibitor of sphingolipid biosynthesis that sped-up the evolutionary adaptation. Evolution approaches resulted in acetic tolerance, and surprisingly, increased lactic susceptibility. Four evolved clones, one from each parental strain and evolutionary scheme, were selected on the basis of their potential for CO2 production in sourdough conditions. Among them, two showed phenotypic instability characterized by strong lactic sensitivity after several rounds of growth under unstressed conditions, while two others, displayed increased constitutive acetic tolerance with no loss of growth in lactic medium. Genome sequencing and ploidy level analysis of all strains revealed aneuploidies, which could account for phenotypic heterogeneity. In addition, copy number variations (CNVs), affecting specially to genes involved in ion transport or flocculation, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified. Mutations in several genes, ARG82, KEX1, CTK1, SPT20, IRA2, ASG1 or GIS4, were confirmed as involved in acetic and/or lactic tolerance, and new determinants of these phenotypes, MSN5 and PSP2, identified.

Abstract
The microbial fermentation behind sourdough bread is among our oldest technologies, yet there are many opportunities for sourdough science to learn from traditional bakers. We analyzed 16S rRNA sequences in R to assess the bacterial community structure and performance of 40 starters grown from 10 types of flour over 14 days, and identified six distinct stages of succession. At each stage, bacterial taxa correlate with determinants of bread quality including pH, rise, and aromatic profile. Day 1 starter cultures were dominated by microorganisms commonly associated with plants and flour, and by aromas similar to toasted grain/cereal. Bacterial diversity peaked from days 2-6 as taxa shifted from opportunistic/generalist bacteria associated with flour inputs, toward specialized climax bacterial communities (days 10-14) characterized by acid-tolerant taxa and fruity (p < 3.03e-03), sour (p < 1.60e-01), and fermented (p < 1.47e-05) aromas. This collection of traits changes predictably through time, regardless of flour type, highlighting patterns of bacterial constraints and dynamics that are conserved across systems and scales. Yet, while sourdough climax communities exhibit similar markers of maturity (i.e., pH ≤ 4 and enriched in Lactobacillus (mean abundance 48.1%), Pediococcus (mean abundance 22.7%), and/or Gluconobacter (mean abundance 19.1%)), we also detected specific taxa and aromas associated with each type of flour. Our results address important ecological questions about the relationship between community structure and starter performance, and may enable bakers to deliberately select for specific sourdough starter and bread characteristics.

Abstract
Seven Kluyveromyces marxianus isolates from the elaboration process of pulque and henequen mezcal were characterized. The isolates were identified based on the sequences of the D1/D2 domain of the 26S rRNA gene and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS-5.8S) region. Genetic differences were found between pulque and henequen mezcal isolates and within henequen mezcal isolates, as shown by different branching patterns in the ITS-5.8S phylogenetic tree and (GTG)5 microsatellite profiles, suggesting that the substrate and process selective conditions may give rise to different K. marxianus populations. All the isolates fermented and assimilated inulin and lactose and some henequen isolates could also assimilate xylose and cellobiose. Henequen isolates were more thermotolerant than pulque ones, which, in contrast, presented more tolerance to the cell wall-disturbing agent calcofluor white (CFW), suggesting that they had different cell wall structures. Additionally, depending on their origin, the isolates presented different maximum specific growth rate (µmax) patterns at different temperatures. Concerning tolerance to stress factors relevant for lignocellulosic hydrolysates fermentation, their tolerance limits were lower at 42 than 30 °C, except for glucose and furfural. Pulque isolates were less tolerant to ethanol, NaCl, and Cd. Finally, all the isolates could produce ethanol by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of a corncob hydrolysate under laboratory conditions at 42 °C.

Abstract
Protein folding promotes and constrains adaptive evolution. We uncover this surprising duality in the role the protein-folding chaperone Hsp90 plays in mediating the interplay between proteome and the genome which acts to maintain the integrity of yeast metabolism in the face of proteotoxic stressors in anthropic niches. Of great industrial relevance, ethanol concentrations generated by fermentation in the making of beer and bread disrupt critical Hsp90-dependent nodes of metabolism and exert strong selective pressure for increased copy number of key genes encoding components of these nodes, yielding the classical genetic signatures of beer and bread domestication. This work establishes a mechanism of adaptive canalization in an ecology of major economic significance and highlights Hsp90-contingent variation as an important source of phantom heritability in complex traits.

Abstract
During the last decade, scientific interest in and consumer attention to sourdough fermentation in bread making has increased. On the one hand, this technology may favorably impact product quality, including flavor and shelf-life of bakery products; on the other hand, some cereal components, especially in wheat and rye, which are known to cause adverse reactions in a small subset of the population, can be partially modified or degraded. The latter potentially reduces their harmful effects, but depends strongly on the composition of sourdough microbiota, processing conditions and the resulting acidification. Tolerability, nutritional composition, potential health effects and consumer acceptance of sourdough bread are often suggested to be superior compared to yeast-leavened bread. However, the advantages of sourdough fermentation claimed in many publications rely mostly on data from chemical and in vitro analyzes, which raises questions about the actual impact on human nutrition. This review focuses on grain components, which may cause adverse effects in humans and the effect of sourdough microbiota on their structure, quantity and biological properties. Furthermore, presumed benefits of secondary metabolites and reduction of contaminants are discussed. The benefits claimed deriving from in vitro and in vivo experiments will be evaluated across a broader spectrum in terms of clinically relevant effects on human health. Accordingly, this critical review aims to contribute to a better understanding of the extent to which sourdough bread may result in measurable health benefits in humans.

Abstract
DNA markers help detect the intraspecific genetic diversity of yeast strains. Eight ISSR (Inter Simple Sequence Repeats) primers were used to assess the intraspecific diversity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (n = 96) from different populations (n = 3), evaluate the technological characteristics, and investigate trait-loci associations. The primers amplified 154 reproducible and scorable bands, of which 79.87% were polymorphic. The UPGMA (unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean) dendrogram clustered 96 isolates into two main clusters, supported by STRUCTURE HARVESTER results (ΔK = 2). Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) indicated significant genetic differences between (15%) and within the populations (85%) (p < 0.001). Twenty-nine genetically distinct strains were selected for the technological characterization. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that five strains with high fermentation capacity, leavening activity, high growth index at 37 °C, and harsh growth conditions were technologically relevant. Trait-loci association analyses indicated that the highest correlation (r = 0.60) was recorded for the fermentation capacity on the 8th and 113th loci, amplified by ISSR-1 and ISSR-6 primers, respectively (p < 0.05). The strains yielding high performances and the associated loci amplified by ISSR markers possess a high potential to generate locus-specific primers to target the strains with high fermentation capacity.

Abstract
Viruses are highly abundant in nature, associated with quality and safety of traditional fermented foods. However, the overall viral diversity and function are still poorly understood in food microbiome. Traditional baijiu fermentation is an ideal model system to examine the diversity and function of viruses owing to easy access, stable operation, and domesticated microbial community. Equipped with cutting-edge viral metagenomics, we investigated the viral community in the fermented grain and fermentation environment, as well as their contribution to baijiu fermentation. Viral communities in the fermented grains and fermentation environment are highly similar. The dominant viruses were bacteriophages, mainly including the order Caudovirales and the family Inoviridae. Furtherly, association network analysis showed that viruses and bacteria were significantly negatively correlated (P < 0.01). Viral diversity could significantly influence bacterial and fungal succession (P < 0.05). Moreover, we proved that starter phages could significantly inhibit the growth of Bacillus licheniformis in the logarithmic growth stage (P < 0.05) under culture condition. Based on the functional annotations, viruses and bacteria both showed high distribution of genes related to amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism. In addition, abundant auxiliary carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZyme) genes were also identified in viruses, indicating that viruses were involved in the decomposition of complex polysaccharides during fermentation. Our results revealed that viruses could crucially affect microbial community and metabolism during traditional fermentation.

Abstract
Due to their long domestication time course, many industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains are adopted in numerous processes mostly for historical reasons instead of scientific and technological needs. As such, there is still significant room for improvement for industrial yeast strains relying on yeast biodiversity. This paper strives to regenerate biodiversity with the innovative application of classic genetic methods to already available yeast strains. Extensive sporulation was indeed applied to three different yeast strains, specifically selected for their different origins as well as backgrounds, with the aim of clarifying how new variability was generated. A novel and easy method to obtain mono-spore colonies was specifically developed, and, to reveal the extent of the generated variability, no selection after sporulation was introduced. The obtained progenies were then tested for their growth in defined mediums with high stressor levels. A considerable and strain-specific increase in both phenotypic and metabolomic variability was assessed, and a few mono-spore colonies were found to be of great interest for their future exploitation in selected industrial processes.

Abstract
The process of domestication has variable consequences on genome evolution leading to different phenotypic signatures. Access to the complete genome sequences of a large number of individuals makes it possible to explore the different facets of this domestication process. Here, we sought to explore the genome evolution of Kluyveromyces lactis, a yeast species well known for its involvement in dairy processes and also present in natural environments. Using a combination of short- and long-read sequencing strategies, we investigated the genomic variability of 41 K. lactis isolates and found that the overall genetic diversity of this species is very high (θw = 3.3 × 10-2) compared with other species such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae (θw = 1.6 × 10-2). However, the domesticated dairy population shows a reduced level of diversity (θw = 1 × 10-3), probably due to a domestication bottleneck. In addition, this entire population is characterized by the introgression of the LAC4 and LAC12 genes, responsible for lactose fermentation and coming from the closely related species, Kluyveromyces marxianus, as previously described. Our results highlighted that the LAC4/LAC12 gene cluster was acquired through multiple and independent introgression events. Finally, we also identified several genes that could play a role in adaptation to dairy environments through copy number variation. These genes are involved in sugar consumption, flocculation, and drug resistance, and may play a role in dairy processes. Overall, our study illustrates contrasting genomic evolution and sheds new light on the impact of domestication processes on it.

Abstract
Various yeast strains have been proposed as candidate starter cultures for cocoa fermentation, especially strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In the current study, the genome of the cocoa strain S. cerevisiae IMDO 050523 was unraveled based on a combination of long- and short-read sequencing. It consisted of 16 nuclear chromosomes and a mitochondrial chromosome, which were organized in 20 contigs, with only two small gaps. A phylogenomic analysis of this genome together with another 105 S cerevisiae genomes, among which 20 from cocoa strains showed a geographical distribution of the latter, including S. cerevisiae IMDO 050523. Its genome clustered together with that of a West African fermented food population, indicating a wider adaptation to West African food niches than cocoa. Furthermore, S. cerevisiae IMDO 050523 contained genetic signatures involved in sucrose hydrolysis, pectin degradation, osmotolerance, and conserved amino acid changes in key ester-producing enzymes that could point toward specific niche adaptations.

Abstract
Understanding microbial dispersal is critical to understand the dynamics and evolution of microbial communities. However, microbial dispersal is difficult to study because of uncertainty about their vectors of migration. This applies to both microbial communities in natural and human-associated environments. Here, we studied microbial dispersal along the sourdoughs bread making chain using a participatory research approach. Sourdough is a naturally fermented mixture of flour and water. It hosts a community of bacteria and yeasts whose origins are only partially known. We analysed the potential of wheat grains and flour to serve as an inoculum for sourdough microbial communities using 16S rDNA and ITS1 metabarcoding. First, in an experiment involving farmers, a miller and bakers, we followed the microbiota from grains to newly initiated and propagated sourdoughs. Second, we compared the microbiota of 46 sourdough samples collected everywhere in France, and of the flour used for their backslopping. The core microbiota detected on the seeds, in the flour and in the sourdough was composed mainly of microbes known to be associated with plants and not living in sourdoughs. No sourdough yeast species were detected on grains and flours. Sourdough lactic acid bacteria were rarely found in flour. When they were, they did not have the same amplicon sequence variant (ASV) as found in the corresponding sourdough. However, the low sequencing depth for bacteria in flour did not allow us to draw definitive conclusion. Thus, our results showed that sourdough yeasts did not come from flour, and suggest that neither do sourdough LAB.

Abstract
(1) Background: Bangladesh must has to spend a large amount of foreign currency to import commercial baker’s yeast every year. We could save money by finding a potential Saccharomyces cerevisiae from natural sources compatible with commercial baker’s yeast production. (2) Methods: Grapes, rice, pineapples were collected, processed, and inoculated on YMA plates and incubated at 30 °C for 48 h. Then 11 single morphologically well-formed colonies were isolated, purified, and identified, three as S. cerevisiae, three as S. rouxii, three as S. bisporus, and two as S. exigus based on standard cultural, morphological, and biochemical characteristics. Identified S. cerevisiae (designated as G2, P5 and R3) were then assessed for CO2 production as a measure of their baking potential during bread production and compared with two commercial strains (designated as C1 and C2). (3) Results: Isolate-G2 produced the maximum of 1830 mm3 of gas, whereas C1, C2, R3, and P5 produced 1520, 1680, 770, and 610 mm3 gas, respectively. No strain produced H2S which is associated with an off-flavor and unpleasant taste. These isolates showed maximum cell density at a pH range of 4–5.5 in 4–16% molasses broth at 30 °C after 4 days of incubation and maximum 4.75 × 109, 7.9 × 108, 1.472 × 1010, 2.08 × 1010 and 5.24 × 109 CFU mL−1 were produced by C1, C2, G2, P5 and R3, respectively. Isolate-G2 was found to have the most potential, whereas isolate-R3 and P5 have satisfactory potential. (4) Conclusions: G2 could be a good candidate for commercial trials.

Abstract
Leavened bread can be made with different wheat varieties and leavening agents. Several studies have now demonstrated that each of these factors can play a role in bread quality. However, their relative impact in artisanal bread making remains to be elucidated. Here, we assessed the impact of two wheat varieties as well as the impact of sourdoughs and yeasts on multiple components of bread organoleptic and nutritional quality. Using a participatory research approach including scientists and bakers, we compared breads leavened with three different sourdoughs and three different commercial yeasts as well as a mix of sourdough and yeast. Breads were made from two wheat varieties commonly used in organic farming: the variety “Renan” and the landrace “Barbu”. Except for bread minerals contents that mostly depended on wheat variety, bread quality was mostly driven by the fermenting agent. Sourdough breads had lower sugar and organic acids contents. These differences were mostly attributable to lower amounts of maltose and malate. They also had a higher proportion of soluble proteins than yeast breads, with specific aroma profiles. Finally, their aroma profiles were specific and more diverse compared to yeast breads. Interestingly, we also found significant nutritional and organoleptic quality differences between sourdough breads. These results highlight the value of sourdough bread and the role of sourdough microbial diversity in bread nutritional and organoleptic quality.

Abstract
Sugar metabolism by Saccharomyces cerevisiae produces ample amounts of CO2 under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. High solubility of CO2 in fermentation media, contributing to enjoyable sensory properties of sparkling wine and beers by S. cerevisiae, might affect yeast metabolism. To elucidate the overlooked effects of CO2 on yeast metabolism, we examined glucose fermentation by S. cerevisiae under CO2 as compared to N2 and O2 limited conditions. While both CO2 and N2 conditions are considered anaerobic, less glycerol and acetate but more ethanol were produced under CO2 condition. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that significantly decreased mRNA levels of GPP1 coding for glycerol-3-phosphate phosphatase in glycerol synthesis explained the reduced glycerol production under CO2 condition. Besides, transcriptional regulations in signal transduction, carbohydrate synthesis, heme synthesis, membrane and cell wall metabolism, and respiration were detected in response to CO2. Interestingly, signal transduction was uniquely regulated under CO2 condition, where up-regulated genes (STE3, MSB2, WSC3, STE12 and TEC1) in the signal sensors and transcriptional factors suggested that MAPK signaling pathway plays a critical role in CO2 sensing and CO2-induced metabolisms in yeast. Our study identifies CO2 as an external stimulus for modulating metabolic activities in yeast and a transcriptional effector for diverse applications.

Abstract
Vitamin D is an important human hormone, known primarily to be involved in the intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate, but it is also involved in various non-skeletal processes (molecular, cellular, immune, and neuronal). One of the main health problems nowadays is the vitamin D deficiency of the human population due to lack of sun exposure, with estimates of one billion people worldwide with vitamin D deficiency, and the consequent need for clinical intervention (i.e., prescription of pharmacological vitamin D supplements). An alternative to reduce vitamin D deficiency is to produce good dietary sources of it, a scenario in which the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae seems to be a promising alternative. This review focuses on the potential use of yeast as a biological platform to produce vitamin D, summarizing both the biology aspects of vitamin D (synthesis, ecology and evolution, metabolism, and bioequivalence) and the work done to produce it in yeast (both for vitamin D2 and for vitamin D3 ), highlighting existing challenges and potential solutions.

Abstract
Breeding and domestication have generated widely exploited crops, animals and microbes. However, many Saccharomyces cerevisiae industrial strains have complex polyploid genomes and are sterile, preventing genetic improvement strategies based on breeding. Here, we present a strain improvement approach based on the budding yeasts' property to promote genetic recombination when meiosis is interrupted and cells return-to-mitotic-growth (RTG). We demonstrate that two unrelated sterile industrial strains with complex triploid and tetraploid genomes are RTG-competent and develop a visual screening for easy and high-throughput identification of recombined RTG clones based on colony phenotypes. Sequencing of the evolved clones reveal unprecedented levels of RTG-induced genome-wide recombination. We generate and extensively phenotype a RTG library and identify clones with superior biotechnological traits. Thus, we propose the RTG-framework as a fully non-GMO workflow to rapidly improve industrial yeasts that can be easily brought to the market.

Abstract
Fermentation is one of the oldest methods of food processing and accounts for a substantial proportion of human foods, including not only staple foods such as bread, cereal porridges or fermented legumes but also fermented vegetables, meats, fish and dairy, alcoholic beverages as well as coffee, cocoa and condiments such as vinegar, soy sauce and fish sauces. Adding the regional varieties to these diverse product categories makes for an almost immeasurable diversity of fermented foods. The periodic table of fermented foods aims to map this diversity on the 118 entries of the periodic table of chemical elements. While the table fails to represent the diversity of fermented foods, it represents major fermentation substrates, product categories, fermentation processes and fermentation organisms. This communication not only addresses limitations of the graphical display on a "periodic table of fermented foods", but also identifies opportunities that relate to questions that are facilitated by this graphical presentation: on the origin and purpose of food fermentation, which fermented foods represent "indigenous" foods, differences and similarities in the assembly of microbial communities in different fermentations, differences in the global preferences for food fermentation, the link between microbial diversity, fermentation time and product properties, and opportunities of using traditional food fermentations as template for development of new products. KEY POINTS: • Fermented foods are produced in an almost immeasurable diversity. • Fermented foods were mapped on a periodic table of fermented foods. • This table facilitates identification of communalities and differences of products.

Abstract
Domestication of plants and animals is the foundation for feeding the world human population but can profoundly alter the biology of the domesticated species. Here we investigated the effect of domestication on one of our prime model organisms, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, at a species-wide level. We tracked the capacity for sexual and asexual reproduction and the chronological life span across a global collection of 1,011 genome-sequenced yeast isolates and found a remarkable dichotomy between domesticated and wild strains. Domestication had systematically enhanced fermentative and reduced respiratory asexual growth, altered the tolerance to many stresses and abolished or impaired the sexual life cycle. The chronological life span remained largely unaffected by domestication and was instead dictated by clade-specific evolution. We traced the genetic origins of the yeast domestication syndrome using genome-wide association analysis and genetic engineering and disclosed causative effects of aneuploidy, gene presence/absence variations, copy number variations and single-nucleotide polymorphisms. Overall, we propose domestication to be the most dramatic event in budding yeast evolution, raising questions about how much domestication has distorted our understanding of the natural biology of this key model species.

Abstract
The baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has become a powerful model in ecology and evolutionary biology. A global effort on field survey and population genetics and genomics of S. cerevisiae in past decades has shown that the yeast distributes ubiquitously in nature with clearly structured populations. The global genetic diversity of S. cerevisiae is mainly contributed by strains from Far East Asia, and the ancient basal lineages of the species have been found only in China, supporting an ‘out-of-China’ origin hypothesis. The wild and domesticated populations are clearly separated in phylogeny and exhibit hallmark differences in sexuality, heterozygosity, gene copy number variation (CNV), horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and introgression events, and maltose utilization ability. The domesticated strains from different niches generally form distinct lineages and harbor lineage-specific CNVs, HGTs and introgressions, which contribute to their adaptations to specific fermentation environments. However, whether the domesticated lineages originated from a single, or multiple domestication events is still hotly debated and the mechanism causing the diversification of the wild lineages remains to be illuminated. Further worldwide investigations on both wild and domesticated S. cerevisiae, especially in Africa and West Asia, will be helpful for a better understanding of the natural and domestication histories and evolution of S. cerevisiae.

Abstract
Molecular DNA markers are valuable tools for analyzing genetic variation among yeast from different populations to reveal the genetically different autochthonous strains. In this study, we employed inter-primer binding site (iPBS) retrotransposon polymorphism to assess the genetic variation and population structure of 96 Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolates from four different regions in Turkey. The nine selected iPBS primers amplified 102 reproducible and scorable bands, of which 95.10% were polymorphic with an average of 10.78 polymorphic fragments per primer. The average polymorphism information content and the resolving power were 0.26–3.58, respectively. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) revealed significant (P < 0.001) genetic differences within populations (88%) and between populations (12%). The unweighted pair group mean with arithmetic (UPGMA) dendrogram grouped 96 S. cerevisiae strains into two main clusters, where the highest probability of the data elucidating the population structure was obtained at ΔK = 2. There was not an obvious genetic discrimination of the populations according to geographical regions on UPGMA, supported by principal coordinate analysis. However, the individuals of the closer provinces in each population were more likely to group together or closely. The results indicate that iPBS polymorphism is a useful tool to reveal the genetically diverse autochthonous S. cerevisiae strains that may be important for the production of sourdough or baked goods.

Abstract
Insects represent a particularly interesting habitat in which to search for novel yeasts of value to industry. Insect-associated yeasts have the potential to have traits relevant to modern food and beverage production due to insect-yeast interactions, with such traits including diverse carbohydrate metabolisms, high sugar tolerance, and general stress tolerance. Here, we consider the potential value of insect-associated yeasts in the specific context of baking. We isolated 63 yeast strains from 13 species of hymenoptera from the United States, representing 37 yeast species from 14 genera. Screening for the ability to ferment maltose, a sugar important for bread production, resulted in the identification of 13 strains of Candida, Lachancea, and Pichia species. We assessed their ability to leaven dough. All strains produced baked loaves comparable to a commercial baking strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The same 13 strains were also grown under various sugar and salt conditions relevant to osmotic challenges experienced in the manufacturing processes and the production of sweet dough. We show that many of these yeast strains, most notably strains of Lachancea species, grow at a similar or higher rate and population size as commercial baker's yeast. We additionally assessed the comparative phenotypes and genetics of insect-associated S. cerevisiae strains unable to ferment maltose and identified baking-relevant traits, including variations in the HOG1 signaling pathway and diverse carbohydrate metabolisms. Our results suggest that non-conventional yeasts have high potential for baking and, more generally, showcase the success of bioprospecting in insects for identifying yeasts relevant for industrial uses.

Abstract
Sourdough production is an ancient method to ferment flour from cereals for the manufacturing of baked goods. This review deals with the state-of-the-art of current fermentation strategies for sourdough production and the microbial ecology of mature sourdoughs, with a particular focus on the use of non-flour ingredients. Flour fermentation processes for sourdough production are typically carried out by heterogeneous communities of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts. Acetic acid bacteria may also occur, although their presence and role in sourdough production can be criticized. Based on the inoculum used, sourdough productions can be distinguished in fermentation processes using backslopping procedures, originating from a spontaneously fermented flour-water mixture (Type 1), starter culture-initiated fermentation processes (Type 2), and starter culture-initiated fermentation processes that are followed by backslopping (Type 3). In traditional recipes for the initiation and/or propagation of Type 1 sourdough productions, non-flour ingredients are often added to the flour-water mixture. These ingredients may be the source of an additional microbial inoculum and/or serve as (co-)substrates for fermentation. An example of the former is the addition of yoghurt; an example of the latter is the use of fruit juices. The survival of microorganisms transferred from the ingredients to the fermenting flour-water mixture depends on the competitiveness toward particular strains of the microbial species present under the harsh conditions of the sourdough ecosystem. Their survival and growth is also determined by the presence of the appropriate substrates, whether or not carried over by the ingredients added.

Abstract
BioArt is a new discipline where artists employ materials and techniques of modern life sciences and create novel meanings of biology, often involving living organisms such as tissue culture, bacteria and yeasts, which may also be genetically engineered. The authors have engaged in a collaboration to develop 'Fermenting Futures', a project designed to explore the significance of yeast for early human history by enabling baking and brewing, all the way to industrial biotechnology and synthetic biology with their potential contributions to fight the climate change. Research in two of the authors' lab provides the materials and thematic lines for the artists to develop their installations. The two main pieces reflect on fermentation as a metabolic trait of baker's yeast and its enormous transformational power for human society, and on the application of synthetic biology to enable yeast to grow and produce materials from carbon dioxide. The role of BioArt to support public engagement and science dissemination is discussed, highlighting the importance of collaborations of scientists and artists on equal terms, as showcased here.

Abstract
Hybridization and polyploidization are powerful mechanisms of speciation. Hybrid speciation often coincides with whole-genome duplication (WGD) in eukaryotes. This suggests that WGD may allow hybrids to thrive by increasing fitness, restoring fertility and/or increasing access to adaptive mutations. Alternatively, it has been suggested that hybridization itself may trigger WGD. Testing these models requires quantifying the rate of WGD in hybrids without the confounding effect of natural selection. Here we show, by measuring the spontaneous rate of WGD of more than 1300 yeast crosses evolved under relaxed selection, that some genotypes or combinations of genotypes are more prone to WGD, including some hybrids between closely related species. We also find that higher WGD rate correlates with higher genomic instability and that WGD increases fertility and genetic variability. These results provide evidence that hybridization itself can promote WGD, which in turn facilitates the evolution of hybrids.

Abstract
The practice of sourdough bread-making is an ancient science that involves the development, maintenance, and use of a diverse and complex starter culture. The sourdough starter culture comes in many different forms and is used in bread-making at both artisanal and commercial scales, in countries all over the world. While there is ample scientific research related to sourdough, there is no standardized approach to using sourdough starters in science or the bread industry; and there are few recommendations on future directions for sourdough research. Our review highlights what is currently known about the microbial ecosystem of sourdough (including microbial succession within the starter culture), methods of maintaining sourdough (analogous to land management) on the path to bread production, and factors that influence the sensory qualities of the final baked product. We present new hypotheses for the successful management of sourdough starters and propose future directions for sourdough research and application to better support and engage the sourdough baking community.
