Grant Activity:
Yeast catchers: Fantastic yeasts and how to find them
Purpose:
Yeasts and other fungi are vital to baking and brewing and the production of many pharmaceuticals and biofuels. Despite their utility, the extent of yeast diversity that exist within Australia is still largely untapped. New species and strains provide natural biological diversity that can create opportunities for future agricultural and food production and the transition to a bio–based economy. This project aims to engage citizen scientists to isolate yeasts endemic to Australia, while introducing real–world scientific research into Australian schools for the evaluation and application of their yeasts. In parallel, genomic sequencing will be used to identify isolates and analyse yeast species distributions across the country.
