Application: | Yeast from Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used: • as a biocatalyst for the anode of yeast microbial fuel cell • for the production of ethanol for fuel use • to prepare yeast extract |
Biochem/physiol Actions: | Yeast from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Baker′s yeast) is used as a protein supplement, energy booster and immune enhancer. It serves as a dough leavening agent in bread production by converting the fermentable sugars to CO2 and ethanol. Baker′s yeast exhibits aroma, anti-molding and nutritive properties. It acts as a cell factory. |
Caution: | Autolyzes in aqueous buffer at 37 °C. |
