Abstract
Yeast is a saprophytic and unicellular fungi. It has a wide application in food production especially brewer’s yeast or baker’s yeast. Yeasts are eukaryotes and are characteristically different than prokaryotic bacteria. They have a dimension much greater than bacteria which are 5 × 10 μm and 0.5 × 5 μm, respectively. They have many defined features that make them unique and specific, like they have an innate resistance toward numerous antibiotics, sulfamides, and also antibacterial agents. It’s a property which cannot be transferred to other organisms. Yeasts are widely found in soil, water, plants, animals, and insects. Plant tissues (i.e., leaves, flowers, and fruits) are very common yeast habitats, but a few species are also found in animals. Some yeast varieties can also be isolated from extreme environment conditions like high salinity, low water potential, low temperature, and also low oxygen availability (Table 17.1).
