Baker’s yeast consists of living yeast cells. 1 gram of yeast contains 10 billion cells. The Latin name of baker’s years is Saccharomyces Cerevisiae (saccharose = sugar; mycel = fungus; cerevisiae = of beer). Translated literally, baker’s yeast is the sugar fungus of beer, and so it is a living organism.
