Disclosed are methods for producing steviol glycosides, such as rebaudioside D and rebaudioside M, using engineered yeast. The methods include at least two phases: first and second phases where a glucose-containing feed composition is provided to the medium in different modes of feeding in each phase, such as variable feeding and then constant feeding. The two phase feeding can result in a growth rate that is slower in the second phase than in the first phase, and consequently increased steviol glycoside production rates, reduced fermentation times, and reduced biomass concentrations.

A method of increasing terpenoid production in a host cell that produces one or more terpenoids, comprising: a) providing a host cell that produces one or more terpenoids, said host cell comprising a vector comprising a polynucleotide sequence encoding a terpene synthase enzyme; b) modifying the vector to: i. introduce an inducible promoter operably linked to the polynucleotide sequence encoding the terpene synthase enzyme; and ii. introduce a polynucleotide sequence encoding a ribosomal binding site (RBS) that increases translation initiation rate of the terpenoid compared to a wild type ribosomal binding site; c) determining the dosage of an inducer capable of inducing the inducible promoter; d) culturing the host cell in a culture medium in the presence of the inducer at the dosage determined from step c); and e) isolating the terpenoid from the culture medium.
