2 Yeast Cell Architecture and Function
2.1 General Cellular Characteristics of Yeast
Yeast cells exhibit great diversity with respect to cell size, shape and colour. Even individual cells from a particular yeast strain of a single species can display morphological and colour heterogeneity. This is mainly due to alterations of physical and chemical conditions in the environment. Among different yeast species, cell size may vary widely. In the following we will concentrate on S. cerevisiae. More detailed information and references on yeast cytology can be found in [Walker, 1998]. S. cerevisiae c
