Yeasts are eukaryotic and single-celled microorganisms that belong to the fungus kingdom. The beneficial physiological characteristics of yeasts have led to their application in the field of biotechnology. Sugar fermentation by yeast is the oldest and most widespread application of this technology. The production of different foods involve the use of different type of yeasts, including brewer's yeast for fermenting beer, baker's yeast for production of bread, as well as yeast for making xylitol and wine. They are also utilized as biocontrol agents in agriculture. They can also be used as a source of biocatalysts for the creation of protein medicines and high-value fine chemicals. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements in the field of yeast biotechnology. It will help the readers in keeping pace with the rapid changes in these fields.

Yeasts are a type of eukaryotic unicellular microfungi that are found abundantly in nature. They do not belong to any single phylogenetic or taxonomic group. Yeasts are used primarily in the production of alcoholic beverages and in baking. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a species of yeast, which is widely utilized in the food industry. It is an extensively studied eukaryotic microorganism and serves as a key model organism in contemporary cell biology research. It has the capability to reproduce sexually by fusing with the cells of opposite mating types and asexually by budding. It is also known as baker's yeast, and has facilitated the invention of effective manufacturing techniques for biopharmaceuticals, ethanol, antibiotics, biofuels, and technical enzymes. This book contains some path-breaking studies on yeast. It explores all the important biotechnological applications of yeast in the present day scenario. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.

Yeast are single celled microorganisms which are classified as fungi. They are crucial in food chains, and are significant in sulfur, carbon and nitrogen cycles. They also have critical environmental applications, including the elimination of heavy metals from wastewater and bioremediation. The usage of yeasts in biotechnological processes is increasing due to their varied properties. They are used for the production of metabolites and recombinant proteins, as well as in-vivo biotransformations. Majority of yeast species are not harmful to animals or human beings, and have the potential to be utilized in a range of fields that are crucial to human activities. This book explores all the important aspects of yeast biotechnology in the present day scenario. It is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in this field. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
