Pro Tip 1/3Culinary Agent
Yeast causes fermentation, making it essential in bread and alcoholic beverages for texture and taste.
Without yeast, your homemade pizza dough won't become light and airy.
Pro Tip 2/3Not Interchangeable
Different yeasts for baking and brewing have specific purposes and are not typically interchangeable.
Brewer's yeast won't work well for baking bread, as it's cultivated for alcohol production.
Pro Tip 3/3ATP Production
Yeast is also important in scientific contexts for studying energy production in cells.
Scientists often use yeast to understand ATP production, which is the energy currency of the cell.

Weird stuff, for me, is not that weird. I guess if it were other people, they'd think it was weird. I eat nutritional yeast. And sometimes I take clay shots to help pull toxins out of my body. I eat weird L.A. food, so I guess that's probably weird in other people's eyes.

We can do genetics. We can do experiments on fruit flies. We can do experiments on yeast. It's not so easy to do experiments on humans. So, in fact, it helps us, to interpret our own genetic code, to have the genetic code of the other species.

Coproporphyrin in particular is widespread; traces are present in normal urine and also in yeast. In special cultures, yeast can be made to produce considerable quantities of coproporphyrin.
