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.

Preparation Note

Fast dried to yield 90% active, viable yeast in a convenient solid form.

In this paper, the production of a second-generation bioethanol from lignocellulosic vineyard cutting wastes was investigated in order to define the optimal operating conditions of the autohydrolysis pretreatment, chlorite delignification and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF). The autohydrolysis of vine-shoot

Indole and its derivatives have been shown to interfere with the quorum sensing (QS) systems of a wide range of bacterial pathogens. While indole has been previously shown to inhibit QS in Serratia marcescens, the effects of various indole derivatives
