[yeast]
[baker's yeast] Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a unicellular organism. The cells have a diameter of approximately 3-5 micrometer and resemble plant and animals cells with respect to complexity in spite of their small size.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the best characterized organisms at the molecular biological level. A particular advantage is the small size of the yeast genome (1.4 x 10**7 bp) which facilitates molecular biological studies, for example the establishment of a gene library. The complete sequence of its genome has been described recently.
Many different genetic, biochemical, and other techniques are available to study this organism. Yeast cells and the many available mutants are easily propagated in vitro on chemically defined media.
