3. Yeast reproduces asexually. A yeast cell splits into two to make two yeast cells. There is no father/mother. 4. Yeast is used to add gas to bread and to beer. The yeast consumes sugar and breaths out carbon dioxide, cause the bread to rise or the beer to froth. 5. If you deprive yeast of its sugar supply, it doesn't die, it just goes into suspended animation. 6. Yeast reproduces so quickly that it has evolved into something totally different from what we had 100 years ago, so brewers were delighted to discover a sunken ship from the 19th century with some bottle of beer on board. The yeast in the bottles was of a type that no longer exists elsewhere, so they were able to revive it and make beer that tastes like 100-year old beer. Aug 20 02, 1:07 PM

In the Australian market, Vegemite is the generic term for yeast spreads. It is the one spread that is introduced to the family almost as a duty, a ritual in the pattern that determines what it is that makes an Australian family. Vegemite, it seems, has always been around and families have always eaten it. Not that its enjoyment is restricted to family use: for example, Vegemite fought alongside the Anzacs in the Second World War. The production facilities have the capacity to produce 235 jars of Vegemite a minute, and 22.7 million jars are produced in Australia every year. Aug 20 02, 10:01 PM
