Wow, sounds like you just landed a job as microbiology-Willy-Wonka!
Congratulations, can't wait to see what you do with it. :)
As far as "awesome stuff to do with yeast", there's plenty of
neutriceutical hacks you could replicate, like resveratrol beer. There's
also plenty of utilitarian stuff you could try, ways of producing
difficult things, or under difficult conditions.
I was told by someone who ought to know, that a major biofab out there
uses a custom, directed-evolution-bred, strain of yeast that grows as
low as pH 3.X, a startlingly low pH for a yeast! The idea was that you
can avoid contamination by growing things at such low pH, I don't know
how much use it sees however. It is, sadly, proprietary; I wonder how
hard that would be to replicate? Whether by DirEvo or Synbio?
While we're on the subject of "wyrd yeest", what about psychrophilic
yeast? Or thermophilic?
There's already a talented team working on cannabinoid yeast, how about
circumin? Or vitamin B12? Or berberine?
