ORGANISM
 WHAT ARE UNICELLULAR
ORGANISM?
• The unicellular organism just made for one cell, different to
pluricellular that contain many cells.
• Some examples of unicellular organism are prokaryotes
(bacteria & archaea), Protozoa, some fungus (yeasts) and some
Algae (diatoms)
• In the earth planet the unicellular organism are the most living
beings.

 WHAT IS YEAST? YEAST
• The yeasts are fungus unicellulars, too tiny, that we just can
look them through microscope. In the nature we can find
the yeasts in many place, in the ground, plants (seeds,
fruits, flower, etc) and even in the animals intestine.

WHERE AND WHEN WAS DISCOVERED THE

YEAST?

• The yeasts was observed for first time through a

microscope by the Netherland Cientist Antonie Va
leeuwenhoek in 1680 but in the century XIX the
French Cientist Pasteur discovered that yeast can be
apply to different functions for the scents and bread
flavor.
YEAST HABITAT
WHERE YOU CAN FIND YEAST?

• The yeast are heterotrophs (they

can only feed on already
preformed organic matter) and
you can find it in every nature
habitats, even in flowers, fruits,
skin, ground, water,mucous, etc.
 YEAST NUTRICION
• The yeast needs oxygen to synthesize schools
and unsaturated fatty acids. The lipids are
very important to protect the membrane of
yeast.
• Also the yeast needs humidity and
temperature to keep it alive and developed to
became as fermentation conditions, without
humidity the fermentation process can not be
activated.
FLAGELLAS
MOVEMENT OF YEAST

• Some types of yeast can be

move from one place to another
through flagellas, structures
similar to the tails that sperm
use to move.
 YEAST
• APPLICATIONS
The yeast can be found in many
applications in the biotechnology
industry and also are the
microorganisms more used in the
medical research. The most
traditional used is the
fermentation, through is possible
get drinks, foods and proteins.
• The yeast is used on different
industrial processes, such as beer,
bread and antibiotic production.
BREAD YEAST BREAD

• In case of Bread production,

the yeast is called
Saccharomyces Cerevisiae.
