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.
