False-colour SEM of yeast cells

Yeast. Coloured scanning electron micrograph of yeast cells, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, commonly known as bakers or Brewers yeast growing on potato dextrose agar. Yeast is able to ferment sugar, producing alcohol & carbon dioxide in the process. It has long been used in the brewing of beer, the production of wine & in baking of leavened bread (carbon dioxide causes the dough to rise). Medically, it is used as a source of vitamin B1, riboflavin & nicotinic acid. Yeast divide rapidly by budding off new cells (visible here). They also reproduce sexually. Magnification X430 at 35mm, X3000 at 10x8 inch size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of yeast cells in stunning detail. The false-colour scanning electron micrograph reveals a mesmerizing array of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, commonly known as bakers or Brewers yeast, thriving on potato dextrose agar. These remarkable organisms possess the unique ability to ferment sugar, resulting in the production of alcohol and carbon dioxide. Yeast has played an indispensable role throughout human history. From brewing beer to crafting fine wines and leavening bread, its contributions are immeasurable. In fact, it is the release of carbon dioxide that causes dough to rise during baking – a phenomenon beautifully captured here. Beyond culinary applications, yeast holds significant medical value as well. It serves as a rich source of essential vitamins such as B1 (thiamine), riboflavin, and nicotinic acid. This microscopic powerhouse not only rapidly divides by budding off new cells but also reproduces sexually. At a magnification of X430 at 35mm or X3000 at 10x8 inch size, this image offers us an extraordinary glimpse into the hidden realm of fungi. Its vibrant colors highlight the complexity and diversity found within nature's fungal kingdom. This awe-inspiring photograph from Science Photo Library reminds us that even in the tiniest corners of our world lies immense beauty waiting to be discovered and appreciated for both its scientific significance and aesthetic appeal.
