Yeast cells, SEM
Yeast cells. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of cells of bakers yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) from part of a dried, commercial yeast pellet. The fungus consists of single vegetative cells. Small daughter cells can be seen budding off from some of the larger mother cells. S. cerevisiae ferments sugar, producing alcohol and carbon dioxide in the process. It is used in the production of beer, wine and bread. Magnification: x2000 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of yeast cells, as captured through a scanning electron microscope. The image reveals a multitude of bakers yeast cells (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) from a dried, commercial yeast pellet. Each cell is individually colored and distinct, highlighting their unique characteristics. The fungus consists of single vegetative cells that are actively engaged in reproduction. Some larger mother cells can be observed with smaller daughter cells budding off from them, showcasing the process of asexual reproduction within this microscopic organism. S. cerevisiae plays an essential role in various industries such as brewing, baking, and fermentation. It possesses the remarkable ability to ferment sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide during these processes. This makes it indispensable for the production of beer, wine, and bread. With a magnification level of x2000 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this print allows us to appreciate the beauty and complexity hidden within even the tiniest organisms around us. It serves as a reminder that nature's wonders extend far beyond what meets the naked eye. This stunning image combines elements from biology, microbiology, mycology (the study of fungi), catering industry applications like baking and brewing while providing valuable insights into cellular structures and reproductive mechanisms.
