Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast is the main type of alcoholic yeast, unicellular microorganisms of fungal nature. Like other similar organisms, they are used to initiate the fermentation process of sugar, gradually converting it into alcohol. Saccharomyces cerevisiae reproduce by budding, but in conditions where the environment is poor in nutrients, they can reproduce by spore formation.
The microorganisms Saccharomyces cerevisiae generally have an oval or elongated shape, although sometimes egg-shaped or ellipsoid cells are found. The volume and length of yeast cells affect the speed of their interaction with the nutrient medium. The larger the volume and surface area of the cell, the faster and more intensely their vital activity occurs.
