Forestry waste can be turned into a high-value fatty acid, thanks to a bright red yeast engineered by University of Alberta ...

Sometimes, the most significant scientific discoveries happen by accident. Scientists have long known that whole-genome ...

On Thursday, March 13, the Department of Biology hosted Greg Lang, associate professor of biological sciences at Lehigh ...

The experiment provided a clear insight into the basic chemical reactions needed to produce alcohol. However, there was one problem: Where did the yeast fit into the reaction? The chemists ...

Read the temperature and write it down as your “Starting Temperature”. Measure 1 teaspoon of yeast. While the thermometer is still in the cup, dump all the yeast into the cup. Gently swirl the cup ...

It's all thanks to tiny living organisms called yeast! In this experiment, we'll see exactly how yeast works by watching it inflate a balloon. The same process that makes our balloon grow is what ...

(Get the step-by-step instructions.) Stand back! This fun and bubbly experiment combines peroxide, yeast, and other stuff to demonstrate catalysts and exothermic reactions. Watch the heat ...

Frankie: Basically, yeah. Harry: We're trying to find out at which temperature yeast grows the most.For this experiment, we're going to use three equal mixtures ofyeast and sugar. We'll use 30 ...

The Multicellular Long-Term Evolution Experiment (MuLTEE) uses "snowflake" yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) as a medium, evolving it from a single cell to increasingly complex multicellular organisms.

Evolved macroscopic "snowflake" yeast from the MuLTEE experiment. The large size of the nuclei (yellow) and cells (cyan) are results of whole-genome duplication and aneuploidy.
