%X £¿ The complexity of the cell is a major problem to study on cancer treatment. In order to find an accurate solution to cancer, it is necessary to know the cell metabolism in detail, but the available knowledge and technology are inadequate. Herein, there is a need for alternative approaches to suggest a treatment way against cancer instead of trying to understand the cell metabolism in details. Therefore, this study aimed to obtain the desired phenotype of Saccharomyces cerevisiae which can easily grow in the DMEM pre-cultured with PC3 (PCM). Evolutionary engineering was successfully applied to wild type (WT) yeast population to randomly generate a variety of genetic phenotypes. The resistant mutants against PCM were randomly selected from an agar plate. Furthermore, the best individual mutant being resistant in PCM was determined with genetic stability tests. In the current study, the resistant yeasts were obtained by evolutionary engineering against PCM restricting the growth of WT. The growth fitness of selected mutants dramatically increased in the PCM, when compared to WT. The best mutant, MY2, is an example to be resistant in extreme environment with directing the instinct of survival of organisms. To suggest as a cancer treatment, the secondary metabolites of MY2 on cancer cells have to be tested
