It's such a random thing. A yeast cell, captured in amber, found by a mad scientist.
Study on optimization of hydrolysis by β-mannanase in yeast cell wall
In this paper, the optimal condition of the yeast cell breaking was studied and finally confirmed through many experiments.
The foam stability of draft beer was decreased by lowering temperature quickly and the mechanical shear power which yeast cell could be damaged.
Construction of hepatitis B virus X gene mutants shuttle vector and its expression in yeast cells
More recently a German microbiologist discovered small mobile bacteria inside the yeast cells (endosymbionts).
Nancy Ho, of Purdue University, in Indiana, has already worked out a way to enable yeast cells to ferment the sugars produced by breaking down cellulose—which natural yeast cannot do.
The yeast cells might as well be stored ultralow temperature by liquid nitrogen for higher survival rate;
The team then enlisted the help of yeast cells to link the cassettes in the correct order to produce the finished genomes.
They have already moved from yeast cells and are extracting t cells, which are part of the immune system, from mice.
Edwin Wintermute and his colleagues at Harvard have engineered yeast cells to carry out two of six steps in the pathway needed to make lysergic acid, the precursor of LSD.
