  2. Saccharomycetes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccharomycetes

    These yeasts live as decomposers, feeding on dead and decaying wood, leaves, litter, and other organic matter. According to Suh et al. (2006), "yeasts are responsible for important industrial and biotechnological processes, including baking, brewing and synthesis of recombinant proteins," with Saccharomycetes being model organisms in research.

  3. Cryptococcus neoformans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptococcus_neoformans

    Under the microscope, the India ink stain is used for easy visualization of the capsule in cerebral spinal fluid. [10] The particles of ink pigment do not enter the capsule that surrounds the spherical yeast cell, resulting in a zone of clearance or "halo" around the cells. This allows for quick and easy identification of C. neoformans.

  4. Yeast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeast

    Candida is commonly found as a commensal yeast in the mucous membranes of humans and other warm-blooded animals. However, sometimes these same strains can become pathogenic. The yeast cells sprout a hyphal outgrowth, which locally penetrates the mucosal membrane, causing irritation and shedding of the tissues. [120]

  5. Saccharomyces cerevisiae - Wikipedia

    Saccharomyces cerevisiae (/ ˌ s ɛr ə ˈ v ɪ s i. iː /) (brewer's yeast or baker's yeast) is a species of yeast (single-celled fungal microorganisms). The species has been instrumental in winemaking , baking , and brewing since ancient times.

  6. Candida albicans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candida_albicans

    Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogenic yeast [5] that is a common member of the human gut flora.It can also survive outside the human body. [6] [7] It is detected in the gastrointestinal tract and mouth in 40–60% of healthy adults.

  7. Schizosaccharomyces pombe - Wikipedia

    Researchers using fission yeast as a model system also look at organelle dynamics and responses and the possible correlations between yeast cells and mammalian cells. [ 64 ] [ 65 ] Mitochondria diseases, and various organelle systems such as the Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum, can be further understood, by observing fission yeast's ...

  8. Basidiomycota - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basidiomycota

    However, there are examples of animal and human parasites where the species are dimorphic but it is the yeast-like state that is infectious. [18] The genus Filobasidiella forms basidia on hyphae but the main infectious stage is more commonly known by the anamorphic yeast name Cryptococcus , e.g. Cryptococcus neoformans [ 19 ] and Cryptococcus ...
