Abstract

Disclosed are genetically engineered organisms, such as yeast and bacteria, that have the ability to metabolize atypical phosphorus or sulfur sources. Fermentation methods using the genetically engineered organisms are also described. The fermentation methods are robust processes for the industrial bioproduction of a variety of compounds, including commodities, fine chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.
