General description
Yeast from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Baker′s yeast) is the oldest microbial starter. It is a facultative anaerobe.
Application
Yeast from Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used:
- as a biocatalyst for the anode of yeast microbial fuel cell
- for the production of ethanol for fuel use
- to prepare yeast extract
Biochem/physiol Actions
Yeast from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Baker′s yeast) is used as a protein supplement, energy booster and immune enhancer. It serves as a dough leavening agent in bread production by converting the fermentable sugars to CO2 and ethanol. Baker′s yeast exhibits aroma, anti-molding and nutritive properties. It acts as a cell factory.
Caution
Autolyzes in aqueous buffer at 37 °C.
Preparation Note
Dried to avoid inactivation of enzymes.
