Saccharomyces cerevisiae ( / ˌsɛrəˈvɪsi.iː /) ( brewer's yeast or baker's yeast) is a species of yeast (single-celled fungal microorganisms). The species has been instrumental in winemaking, baking, and brewing since ancient times. It is believed to have been originally isolated from the skin of grapes.
Jul 5, 2020 · Saccharomyces cerevisiae (scientific name: S. cerevisiae) is a single- celled (or unicellular) fungus known commonly as yeast. It has been cultured by humans for thousands of years, as it is the organism known for producing a variety of alcoholic beverages- such as beers and wines- as well as baked goods- such as breads.
Feb 11, 2020 · S. cerevisiae is a model organism, a valuable tool for all aspects of basic research. Unlike other model organisms though, such as Escherichia coli, or Caenorhabditis elegans, S. cerevisiae is concomitantly also a most valuable species for a variety of industrial applications.
