  2. Yeast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeast

    Most yeasts reproduce asexually by mitosis, and many do so by the asymmetric division process known as budding. With their single-celled growth habit, yeasts can be contrasted with molds, which grow hyphae. Fungal species that can take both forms (depending on temperature or other conditions) are called dimorphic fungi.

  3. Mating of yeast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mating_of_yeast

    The mating of yeast, also known as yeast sexual reproduction, is a biological process that promotes genetic diversity and adaptation in yeast species. Yeast species, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast), are single-celled eukaryotes that can exist as either haploid cells, which contain a single set of chromosomes , or diploid cells ...

  4. Budding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budding

    Saccharomyces cerevisiae reproducing by budding. Budding or blastogenesis is a type of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site. For example, the small bulb-like projection coming out from the yeast cell is known as a bud.

  5. Asexual reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexual_reproduction

    The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae reproducing by budding. Some cells divide by budding (for example baker's yeast), resulting in a "mother" and a "daughter" cell that is initially smaller than the parent. Budding is also known on a multicellular level; an animal example is the hydra, [10] which reproduces by budding. The buds grow into fully ...

  6. Saccharomyces cerevisiae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccharomyces_cerevisiae

    Saccharomyces cerevisiae (/ ˌ s ɛr ə ˈ v ɪ s i. iː /) (brewer's yeast or baker's yeast) is a species of yeast (single-celled fungal microorganisms). The species has been instrumental in winemaking, baking, and brewing since ancient times. It is believed to have been originally isolated from the skin of grapes.

  7. Blastoconidium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blastoconidium

    A blastoconidium (plural blastoconidia) is an asexual holoblastic conidia formed through the blowing out or budding process of a yeast cell, which is a type of asexual reproduction that results in a bud arising from a parent cell. [1] [2] The production of a blastoconidium can occur along a true hyphae, pseudohyphae, or a singular yeast cell. [3]

  8. Reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproduction

    Bacteria divide asexually via binary fission; viruses take control of host cells to produce more viruses; Hydras (invertebrates of the order Hydroidea) and yeasts are able to reproduce by budding. These organisms often do not possess different sexes, and they are capable of "splitting" themselves into two or more copies of themselves. Most ...

  9. Fungus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fungus

    There are also single-celled fungi that do not form hyphae, and some fungi have both hyphal and yeast forms. [34] In common with some plant and animal species, more than one hundred fungal species display bioluminescence. [35] Unique features: Some species grow as unicellular yeasts that reproduce by budding or fission.
