Schizosaccharomycetaceae (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Schizosaccharomycetaceae is a family of yeasts in the order Schizosaccharomycetales. Yeasts are eukaryotic micro-organisms classified in the kingdom Fungi, with the 1,500 species currently described estimated to be only 1% of all yeast species. Most reproduce asexually by budding, although a few do so by binary fission. Yeasts are unicellular, although some species with yeast forms may become multicellular through the formation of a string of connected budding cells known as pseudohyphae, or false hyphae, as seen in most molds. Yeast size can vary greatly depending on the species, typically measuring 3-4 um in diameter, although some yeasts can reach over 40 um.
