Yeast Biotechnology 2.0

摘要

Yeast biotechnology.For thousands of years, yeasts have been used for the making of breadand the production of fermented alcoholic drinks, such as wine and beer. Saccharomyces cerevisiae(bakers’ and brewers’ yeast) is the yeast species that is surely the most exploited by man. Nowadays,Saccharomyces is a cornerstone of modern biotechnology and also a top choice organism for industrialproduction of fuels, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Today, more and more different yeast species areexplored for industrial applications. This Special Issue “Yeast Biotechnology 2.0” is a continuation ofthe first issue “Yeast Biotechnology”
