Yeast cells, illustration C018 / 0750
Yeast cells. Illustration of cells of brewer s, or baker s, yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). This fungus consists of single vegetative cells. Small daughter cells can be seen budding off from some of the larger mother cells. Once they have reached their full size, the daughter cells will be indistinguishable from the mother cells. S. cerevisiae ferments sugar, producing alcohol and carbon dioxide in the process. It is used in the production of beer, wine and bread

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of yeast cells. Illustrated in stunning detail, we are presented with a close-up view of brewer's or baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), a fungus consisting of single vegetative cells. The image reveals the fascinating process of cell division, as small daughter cells can be observed budding off from some larger mother cells. What makes this illustration even more intriguing is that once these daughter cells have reached their full size, they become indistinguishable from their mothers. This remarkable ability to replicate themselves plays a crucial role in the fermentation process carried out by S. cerevisiae. As an essential ingredient in beer, wine, and bread production, S. cerevisiae ferments sugar and produces alcohol and carbon dioxide as byproducts. Its significance extends beyond our culinary delights; it serves as a model organism for biological research due to its unicellular nature and efficient reproduction through budding. The vibrant orange hues bring life to this microscopic world while highlighting the complexity hidden within every yeast cell. This artwork not only celebrates the beauty found in biology but also reminds us of the indispensable role microorganisms play in our daily lives – silently working behind the scenes to create some of our most cherished indulgences.
