Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an important research tool and industrial reagent. This organism is the basis for much of our understanding of the molecular and cellular biology of eukaryotes. The second edition of this authoritative reference updates certain chapters and includes new chapters on aging and the cell wall. With a wealth of new research data collected since the first edition, The Metabolism and Molecular Physiology of Saccharomyces cervisiae remains a leading reference for bioscientists across many disciplines.
