Abstract Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a workhorse of industrial biotechnology owing to the organism’s prominence in alcohol fermentation and the suite of sophisticated genetic tools available to manipulate its metabolism. However, S. cerevisiae is not suited to overproduce many bulk bioproducts, as toxicity constrains production at high titers. Here, we employ a high-throughput assay to screen 108 publicly accessible yeast strains for tolerance to 20 g L −1 adipic acid (AA), a nylon precursor. We identify 15 tolerant yeasts and select Pichia occidentalis for production of cis , cis -muconic acid (CCM), the precursor to AA. By developing a genome editing toolkit for P. occidentalis , we demonstrate fed-batch production of CCM with a maximum titer (38.8 g L −1 ), yield (0.134 g g −1 glucose) and productivity (0.511 g L −1 h −1 ) that surpasses all metrics achieved using S. cerevisiae . This work brings us closer to the industrial bioproduction of AA and underscores the importance of host selection in bioprocessing.
