Hittinger's team sequenced the genomes and studied the metabolisms of nearly every known species of a group of yeasts ...

In this study, researchers searched for new yeast species with the potential use in industrial production of biochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food ingredients. "Our partners collected the ...

The mycobiome may be important because the yeast species are involved in fermentation of carbohydrates. As we know, the low FODMAP diet attempts to reduce fermentation by microbes in the gut ...

Nutritional yeast, which people may also call baker’s yeast, comes from a common species of yeast known as Saccharomyces cerevisiae. There is another form of this yeast species, which is called ...

In the complex ecosystem of the human body, yeast exists as a quiet inhabitant, typically harmless but capable of causing ...

Think yeast just belongs in the kitchen? Mitosis in baker's yeast can also tell us about mutations that cause cancer. One of the first scientists to discover some of these cancer-causing mutations ...

The study not only indicates the presence of RNAi in some budding yeast species, giving insight into the evolution of this pathway, but also suggests that RNAi has a quite different function in ...
