yeasts
Sugar-eating microorganisms
Yeasts are single-celled fungi that ferment sugars, producing alcohol and carbon dioxide.
Baker's yeast makes bread rise; brewer's yeast makes beer alcoholic.
The word often appears in the singular as a mass noun: Add the yeast to warm water.
Yeast infections are fungal overgrowths, typically of Candida species, causing irritation in warm, moist body areas.
