Microorganisms need to adapt to environmental changes, and genome plasticity can lead to rapid adaptation to hostile environments by increasing genetic diversity. Here, we investigate genome plasticity in the CTG(Ser1) yeastScheffersomyces stipitis, an organism with an enormous potential for second-generation biofuel production. We demonstrate thatS. stipitishas an intrinsically plastic genome and that differentS. stipitisisolates have genomes with distinct chromosome organisation. Real-time evolution experiments show thatS. stipitisgenome plasticity is common and rapid as extensive genomic changes with fitness benefits are detected followingin vitroevolution experiments. Hybrid MinION Nanopore and Illumina genome sequencing identifies retrotransposons as major drivers of genome diversity. Indeed, the number and position of retrotransposons is different in differentS. stipitisisolates, and retrotransposon-rich regions of the genome are sites of chromosome rearrangements. Our findings provide important insights into the adaptation strategies of the CTG (Ser1) yeast clade and have critical implications in the development of second-generation biofuels. These data highlight that genome plasticity is an essential factor to be considered for the development of sustainableS. stipitisplatforms for second-generation biofuels production.
