As fossil fuels rise in cost and green initiatives gain traction, alternative methods for producing useful compounds using ...

Fission yeast and budding yeast are free-living haploid cells that are easily grown in the laboratory. They have different cell shapes and patterns of division. Left, fission yeast; right, budding ...

Choosing which type of yeast to use for the fermentation, when making wine, is a crucial decision for winemakers. They can choose to ferment “spontaneously” or buy cultured yeast. The issue has been ...

Researchers have identified a gene in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that might be important for ethanol production from plant material, providing insights into the bioethanol alternative to ...

The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has become an important model for evolutionary genomics owing to the development of high-throughput sequencing technologies. Comparative genomics analysis of ...

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a species of yeast (single-celled fungus microorganism). The species has been instrumental in winemaking, baking, and brewing since ancient times. It is also known as baker ...

Humans have used Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast in baking, brewing and winemaking for millennia. New research from the University of Idaho and the University of Colorado Boulder reveals another way ...

As fossil fuels rise in cost and green initiatives gain traction, alternative methods for producing useful compounds using microorganisms have the ...

Discover how a mutated form of baker's yeast is a strong contender for replacing petroleum in 2,3-butanediol production for ...
