Ploidy-regulated variation in biofilm-related phenotypes in natural isolates of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Abstract excerpt

The ability of yeast to form biofilms contributes to better survival under stressful conditions. We see the impact of yeast biofilms and "flocs" (clumps) in human health and industry, where forming clumps enables yeast to act as a natural filter in brewing and forming biofilms enables yeast to remain virulent in cases of fungal infection. Despite the importance of biofilms in yeast natural isolates, the majority...
