The Organism That Turned Sugar Into Civilization | Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The organism that makes your bread, beer, and wine also changed biology forever.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae has accompanied humanity for thousands of years, although for most of that time we did not know it existed. This video explores its history from ancient Egypt to Pasteur's experiments, its eukaryotic cell structure, glucose transport and metabolism, alcoholic fermentation, its aerobic electron transport chain, and its role as the first eukaryote to have its genome fully sequenced.
