Abstract: | The relationship between Man and yeast has been a successful and enduring one. The characteristics of yeast have made it an
ideal tool in scientific research and as such, it has been used extensively. In this review some of the advantages, methods
and applications of yeasts in the biosensor field are outlined. In doing so, we propose a eukaryotic alternative to the current
battery of bacteria-based microbial biosensors. |
