Background

Some species have the ability to develop multicellular characteristics by forming connected clusters of budding cells called pseudohyphae or false hyphae. Yeast is a single-celled organism developed from a multicellular ancestor. Yeasts vary greatly in size, depending on the species and environment. They are usually 3-4 µm in diameter, and some yeasts can grow to 40 µm in size. Most yeasts reproduce asexually through mitosis, and some reproduce through an asymmetric division process called buds. With its single-cell growth habit, yeast can be compared with mold, which can grow hyphae. Fungal species that can exist in both forms (depending on temperature or other conditions) are called dimorphic fungi.

Sprouting yeast is an ideal experimental model organism for genetic research. Yeast has a longer life cycle and cell structure shared by eukaryotes. As a microorganism, yeast is easy to multiply and manipulate in the laboratory.
