budding yeast; Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Technical term in biology; refers to yeast that reproduces by budding, with Saccharomyces cerevisiae as the most representative species.
Budding yeast is used in the production of bread and beer.
分裂酵母 (fission yeast) reproduces by binary fission, unlike budding yeast.
Compound of 出芽 (shutsuga, 'budding') and 酵母 (kōbo, 'yeast'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain; the term is a modern scientific coinage.
