Yeast: The Unicellular Fungal Form
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
A yeast is a unicellular fungus reproducing by budding or fission rather than hyphal growth; some species switch between yeast and hyphal forms.
Show
Saccharomyces cerevisiae grows as budding yeast cells, while a dimorphic fungus like Candida can shift to a hyphal form.
Watch for
"Yeast" names a growth form, not one taxonomic group — unicellular forms appear scattered across multiple fungal phyla.
