Yeasts are single-celled fungi that do not form hyphae (branching filaments) Like moulds, a yeast cell has a cell wall surrounding the cell membrane and cytoplasm. One species of yeast that is very important to humans is Saccharomyces cerevisiae. When yeast cells are deprived of oxygen, they respire anaerobically.

Yeasts
are
single-celled
fungi
that
do
not
form
hyphae
(branching
laments
that
make
up
fungal
mycelia).
Dierent
species
of
fungi
can
be
found
everywhere
on
the
surface
of
fruits,
the
nectaries
of
owers,
in
soil,
water,
and
even
on
dust
in
the
air. Like
moulds,
a
yeast
cell
has
a
cell
wall
surrounding
the
cell
membrane
and
cytoplasm,
as
well
as
a
central
vacuole.
Each
cell
also
contains
a
single
nucleus.
The
size
of
a
yeast
cell
can
vary
greatly
depending
on
the
species,
typically
measuring
34
micrometres
(m)
in
diameter,
although
some
can
reach
over
40
m. One
species
of
yeast
that
is
very
important
to
humans
is
Saccharomyces
cerevisiae.
It
reproduces
asexually
by
a
process
called
budding.
When
a
yeast
cell
buds,
it
forms
a
small
bulge
on
one
side
of
the
cell.
The
nucleus
of
the
cell
divides
in
two
by
mitosis.
The
bulge
grows
steadily
bigger
and
bigger
until
it
is
about
the
same
size
as
its
parent
cell.
The
bud
containing
the
new
nucleus
then
pinches
o
at
the
base,
and
breaks
away
to
form
a
new
yeast
cell.
When
yeast
cells
have
a
good
supply
of
food,
this
process
can
occur
extremely
quickly,
so
that
in
a
few
hours
thousands
more
yeast
cells
are
formed. Saccharomyces
is
the
yeast
which
is
widely
used
by
humans
for
baking
bread
and
fermenting
alcoholic
beverages.
The
production
of
such
foodstus
all
involve
the
respiration
of
yeast.
When
yeast
cells
are
deprived
of
oxygen,
they
respire
anaerobically,
breaking
sugar
down
into
ethanol
and
carbon
dioxide. In
wine
making,
grapes
are
pickled
and
crushed
to
produce
a
juice
called
must.
Wild
yeasts
living
on
the
surface
of
the
grapes
assist
in
starting
the
fermentation
of
the
must
before
cultivated
yeast
is
added.
During
the
actual
fermentation
process,
alcohol
concentration
in
the
wine
builds
up,
killing
the
yeast
cells
when
it
rises
above
14%. In
beer
making,
starch
in
barley
is
rst
broken
down
into
sugar
so
that
yeast
cells
can
ferment
it
to
ethanol.
When
barley
cells
germinate,
they
produce
amylase,
which
is
used
by
the
yeast
as
an
energy
source
in
fermentation.
After
the
process
of
malting,
hops
are
added
for
taste
and
yeast
is
added;
this
uses
up
the
oxygen
in
the
mixture,
and
so
initiates
the
anaerobic
respiration
of
any
sugars
in
the
mixture.
To
make
dierent
types
of
beer,
dierent
species
of
yeast
are
used.
Saccharomyces
cerevisiae
(Brewers
yeast)
is
used
to
make
ales,
and
Saccharomyces
carlsbergensis
for
lagers. In
bread
making,
Saccharomyces
cerevisiae
is
again
used,
although
it
is
more
commonly
known
as
Bakers
yeast.
Flour
and
water
are
mixed
together,
and
yeast
added,
forming
the
dough.
Enzymes
from
the
original
cereal
grains
break
down
starch
to
sugars,
which
are
the
fermented
by
the
yeast.
Fermentation
produces
carbon
dioxide
gas
bubbles,
which
expand
when
the
dough
is
baked,
making
the
bread
light
and
giving
it
a
light,
cellular
texture.
Baking
also
kills
the
yeast
cells
and
evaporates
any
ethanol
made
by
the
fermentation.
