1.Diversity of natural yeast flora of grapes and its role in wine making in India -- 2. Yeast probiotics -- 3.Yeast phytases -- 4.Role of yeasts in food fermentations -- 5.Yeast expression system: Current practices and future perspectives -- 6.Biology of Killer yeast and technological implications -- 7.Yeast genetics as a powerful tool to study human diseases -- 8.Yeasts and traditional fermented foods and beverages -- 9. Yeast models for space biology -- 10. Biofilms of Candida -- 11. Ecology, diversity and applications of Saccharomyces cerevisiae used in food and beverage fermentations -- 12. Yeast proteomic applications -- 13. Applications of Kluyveromyces marxianus in food/biotechnology -- 14. Yeast as biocatalysts for synthesis of pure entianomeric alcohols, food with reduced purine content and enzymatic degradation of plastic materials -- 15. Conventional and non-conventional yeasts for the production of biofuels -- 16. High performance SBR-technology for unsterile fermentation of ethanol and other chemicals -- 17. Yeast to control aflatoxin production -- 18. Biotransformation and detoxification of environmental pollutants with aromatic structures by yeasts -- 19. Development of the thermotolerant methylotrophic yeast Hansenula polymorpha as efficient ethanol producer -- 20. Gene expression analysis in Arxula adeninivorans: A nested quantitative real time PCR approach.

This book brings together and updates the latest information on the diversity of yeasts, their molecular features and their applications in the welfare of mankind. Yeasts are eukaryotic microfungi widely found in natural environments, including those with extreme conditions such as low temperatures, low oxygen levels and low water availability. To date, approximately 2,000 of the estimated 30,000 to 45,000 species of yeast on Earth, belonging to around 200 genera have been described. Although there are a few that are opportunistic human and animal pathogens, the vast majority of yeasts are beneficial, playing an important role in the food chain and in the carbon, nitrogen and sulphur cycles. In addition, yeasts such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Hansenula polymorpha and Pichia pastoris are used in expressing foreign genes to produce proteins of pharmaceutical interest. A landmark in biotechnology was reached in 1996 with the completion of sequencing of the entire S. cerevisiae genome, and it has now become a central player in the development of an entirely new approach to biological research and synthetic biology. The sequencing of genomes of several yeasts including Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neofromans has also recently been completed.
