  2. Candida albicans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candida_albicans

    The biofilm of C. albicans is formed in four steps. First, there is the initial adherence step, where the yeast-form cells adhere to the substrate. The second step is called Intermediate step, where the cells propagate to form microcolonies, and germ tubes form to yield hyphae. In the maturation step, the biofilm biomass expands, the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermentation_theory

    Hence, the amyl alcohol observation provided some of the first motivations for a biological explanation of fermentation. In 1856, Pasteur was able to observe the microbes responsible for alcoholic fermentation under a microscope, as a professor of science in the University of Lille.

  4. Saccharomycotina - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccharomycotina

    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).

  5. Colonial morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonial_morphology

    Examining colonial morphology is the first step in the identification of an unknown microbe. The systematic assessment of the colonies' appearance, focusing on aspects like size, shape, colour, opacity, and consistency, provides clues to the identity of the organism, allowing microbiologists to select appropriate tests to provide a definitive ...

  6. Mrakia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mrakia

    Mrakia is a genus of fungi in the order Cystofilobasidiales. [1] The genus comprises yeasts, some of which have a hyphal state forming teliospores from which basidia arise. Mrakia species are typically psychrophilic, many originally isolated from glaciers and frigid environments, [2] [3] and are capable of low-temperature fermentation, making them of potential interest in brewing [4] and ...

  7. Saccharomyces cerevisiae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccharomyces_cerevisiae

    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. It is believed to have been originally isolated from the skin of grapes.

  8. Baker's yeast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker's_yeast

    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 ...

  9. Vaginal wet mount - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaginal_wet_mount

    Vaginal wet mount showing slings of pseudohyphae of Candida albicans surrounded by round vaginal epithelial cells, conferring a diagnosis of candidal vulvovaginitis.. A vaginal wet mount (or vaginal smear [1] or wet prep [2]) is a gynecologic test wherein a sample of vaginal discharge is observed by wet mount microscopy by placing the specimen on a glass slide and mixing with a salt solution.
