Baker's Yeast

Saccharomyces cerevisiae

  • Most common strain
  • Balanced metabolism
  • Used in bread making
  • Moderate fermentation rate

Ale Yeast

Top-fermenting strain

  • Higher fermentation efficiency
  • Produces fruity esters
  • Used in beer brewing
  • Prefers warmer temps

Champagne Yeast

High-performance strain

  • Highest glycolysis rate
  • Alcohol tolerant
  • Used in wine making
  • Efficient in low O₂

🔬 What You'll Explore

Observe how yeast cells dynamically switch between aerobic respiration and alcohol fermentation based on oxygen availability. Manipulate temperature, substrate type, and vessel conditions to see real-time effects on ATP production, CO₂ generation, and ethanol formation. Watch molecules float in the beaker as concentrations change!
