| Application: | Yeast from Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used: • in yeast sample preparation for tube-gel electrophoresis (TGE) fractionation • as a diet supplement to study its effect on the utilization of food waste as a diet for grass carp • for fermentation of miscanthus and the cellulose-rich extract samples to produce ethanol |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a unicellular fungus. Yeast from S. cerevisiae is the widely used yeast species in bread and sourdoughs. It is used to produce several fermented beverages (cider, beer, 85s, and wine) and distilled beverages (brandy, sake, vodka, and whisky). S. cerevisiae has better tolerance for fermentation stresses than any other yeast species. Hence, it is a preferred starter culture for industrial fermentation. |
| Caution: | Only approx. 10% will autolyze in aqueous buffer at 37 °C. |
