Saccharomyces Cerevisiae

What is Saccharomyces Cerevisiae?

Saccharomycea cerevisiae is a species of budding yeast. It is perhaps the most useful yeast owing to its use since ancient times in baking and brewing. [1]



History

It is believed that it was originally isolated from the skins of grapes (one can see the yeast as a component of the thin white film on the skins of some dark-colored fruits such as plums; it exists among the waxes of the cuticle). [1]
