One-celled fungi, commonly known as yeasts, are unicellular microorganisms that belong to the kingdom Fungi. They play crucial roles in various biological processes, including fermentation, where they convert sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Yeasts are used in baking, brewing, and winemaking, as well as in scientific research and biotechnology. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the most well-known species of yeast, widely used in these applications.
