Yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Yeast cells. Coloured scanning electron micro- graph (SEM) of budding yeast cells (yellow, Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Known as bakers or brewers yeast, this fungus consists of single vegetative cells. The larger mother" cells are budding off smaller daughter cells in cell division. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is able to ferment sugar, producing alcohol and carbon dioxide in the process. It has long been used in the brewing of beer, production of wine, and in baking leavened bread (causing the dough to rise). Magnification: x2, 700 at 5x7cm size. x6800 at 6.75x4.75"

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of yeast cells, specifically Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Coloured using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), these budding yeast cells appear in a vibrant yellow hue against a black background. Each cell represents a single vegetative unit of this fungus, with larger "mother" cells giving rise to smaller "daughter" cells through the process of cell division. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is renowned as bakers and brewers yeast due to its remarkable ability to ferment sugar, resulting in the production of alcohol and carbon dioxide. For centuries, it has played an essential role in brewing beer, crafting wine, and leavening bread by causing dough to rise. Under magnification at 5x7cm size, this SEM image offers us a closer look at the fascinating world of fungi. At x2,700 magnification for that size or x6,800 for 6.75x4.75 inches prints, we can appreciate the intricate details and structures within these tiny organisms. Nature enthusiasts and mycology aficionados alike will find themselves captivated by this stunning visual representation captured by Science Photo Library. It serves as a reminder of nature's incredible diversity and reminds us how even seemingly insignificant microorganisms contribute significantly to our daily lives through their vital roles in food production processes such as baking and brewing.
