This text emphasises the importance of staying informed about Saccharomyces cerevisiae as it provides the intellectual basis for much of the molecular and cellular biology of eukaryotes. It offers yeast users a concise account of the metabolism and physiology of this organism. Chapters include: life cycle and morphogenesis; carbon metabolism, nitrogen metabolism; lipids and membranes; protein trafficking; and phosphorlation and dephosphorylation of protein and stress response. This book is for second and final year undergraduates in microbiology, biotechnology and applied biology, postgraduate and doctural researchers working on yeast, and researchers and managers in industries which use and exploit Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
