Yeast Systems Biology: Model Organism and Cell Factory
Reviewartikel, 2019

For thousands of years, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) has served as a cell factory for the production of bread, beer, and wine. In more recent years, this yeast has also served as a cell factory for producing many different fuels, chemicals, food ingredients, and pharmaceuticals. S. cerevisiae, however, has also served as a very important model organism for studying eukaryal biology, and even today many new discoveries, important for the treatment of human diseases, are made using this yeast as a model organism. Here a brief review of the use of S. cerevisiae as a model organism for studying eukaryal biology, its use as a cell factory, and how advances in systems biology underpin developments in both these areas, is provided.
