yeast used in baking, brewing, and scientific research
Saccharomyces cerevisiae, commonly known as Baker's yeast or Brewer's yeast, is a species of yeast used extensively in baking, brewing, and winemaking due to its ability to ferment sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. It is also a model organism in cell biology and genetics research because of its well-understood genome and ease of manipulation in the laboratory.
