New research from the University of Georgia suggests that the spread of baker’s yeast is linked to past human migration, ...

Small organisms can have a big impact, and researchers have explored nearly a dozen nontraditional yeast strains to determine ...

Yeast infections on the scalp are caused by an overgrowth of fungal organisms. Malassezia, a yeast that often causes dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and folliculitis (inflamed follicles), is the most ...

Small organisms can have a big impact, and researchers have explored nearly a dozen nontraditional yeast strains to determine which ones could brew the best nonalcoholic beers for a rapidly ...

Toenail fungus is caused by an overgrowth of yeast organisms. In my experience, the problem is normally a sign that yeast is active elsewhere in the body, particularly the gut. Another symptom of ...

Synthetic biology has transformed yeast from a classical model organism into a highly engineerable chassis for next-generation biomanufacturing. By ...

We are at a critical time and supporting climate journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen ...

But Yeast 2.0 will be a synthetic eukaryote; the first lab-made organism in the vast domain of multicellular life that includes all plants, fungi, animals, and us. Goold and a team of scientists ...

Scientists link baker’s yeast evolution to ancient human movements, suggesting we’ve been shaping microbial life far longer ...

The control monkey never became ill at any time. One marmoset, A-6, which had ingested 54,000,000 yeast organisms, died on the fourth day. The others (A-5 and A-7) recovered spontaneously in about ...
