Researchers at Tufts University have created a genetically modified yeast that can more efficiently consume a novel nutrient, xylose, enabling the yeast to grow faster and to higher cell densities, raising the prospect of a significantly faster path toward the design of new synthetic organisms for industrial applications, according to a study published today in Nature Communications.

Basic yeast cells, such as those shown here, can be modified to produce painkilling opiates through the addition of 20 - plus genes.

The point mutation was induced by forming a synthetic complex through removal of nuclease activity from the CRISPR system — a technique using artificial nuclease — and addition of deaminase, a deaminizing (base - modifying) enzyme, and then expressing it in yeasts and mammalian cells.
