Saccharomycetes belongs to the Ascomycota division of the kingdom Fungi.It is the only class in the subdivision Saccharomycotina, the budding yeasts.Saccharomycetes contains a single order, Saccharomycetales.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the yeast commonly used as baker's yeast. Gradation marks are 1 μm apart.. Baker yeast is the common name for the strains of yeast commonly used in baking bread and other bakery products, serving as a leavening agent which causes the bread to rise (expand and become lighter and softer) by converting the fermentable sugars present in the dough into carbon dioxide and ...
Saccharomycotina is a subdivision (subphylum) of the division (phylum) Ascomycota in the kingdom Fungi. [2] [3] It comprises most of the ascomycete yeasts.The members of Saccharomycotina reproduce by budding and they do not produce ascocarps (fruiting bodies).
The Saccharomycetaceae are a family of yeasts in the order Saccharomycetales that reproduce by budding.Species in the family have a cosmopolitan distribution, and are present in a wide variety of habitats, especially those with a plentiful supply of carbohydrate sources. [1]
As a model organism for biology, S. cerevisiae have been well studied for decades and used by researchers for various purposes throughout history. The two yeast genera; Pichia ( sensu lato ) and Saccharomyces , have similar growth conditions and tolerances; thus, the culture of Komagataella can be adopted by labs without many modifications.

Saccharomycetales belongs to the kingdom of Fungi and the division Ascomycota.It is the only order in the class Saccharomycetes.There are currently 13 families recognized as belonging to Saccharomycetales. [2]
Lachancea kluyveri is a budding yeast related to Saccharomyces cerevisiae, or baker's yeast, the model organism intensively used in biochemistry, genetics and cell biology. . In 2003 it was transferred from the genus Saccharomyces to the genus Lachancea named for Canadian mycologist and yeast biologist Marc-André Lachance.
A killer yeast is a yeast, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is able to secrete one of a number of toxic proteins which are lethal to susceptible cells. [1] These "killer toxins" are polypeptides that kill sensitive cells of the same or related species, often functioning by creating pores in target cell membranes.
