Evolution of Yeast Cell Surface Engineering

－Technology Strategy for Advanced Biointerface Utilization－

Abstract

Yeast cell surface is not only a boundary that separates the self from others by confining the necessary components for life support, but also an important interface to interact with the external environment and others. Therefore, if the functionality of the cell surface can be manipulated to design interactions with the extracellular environment, yeast cells will be able to be utilized in various fields such as material production and medicine. This review provides an overview of cell surface engineering technology, a promising tool for manipulating the functionality of the yeast cell surface, its applications in various fields, and recent research on its improvement.
