Yeasts are unicellular fungi that are typically oval or round in shape. They reproduce asexually by budding, where a small outgrowth (bud) forms on the parent cell and eventually detaches to become a new yeast cell.
While most fungi are multicellular, yeasts are a notable exception and represent a diverse group within the fungal kingdom. They play important roles in various industries, including baking, brewing, and biotechnology.
