Yeast Cultures

Caption

Yeast can be grown on both solid and liquid nutrition medium and is a good model system for studying ageing. Yeast cells share many molecular mechanisms with cells in more complex organisms, yet it is easy to change their DNA and study different genes' functions. Yeast also produces many generations in a short time.
