Fruit will all have single celled yeast growing on it vineyards use di erent kinds of yeast to drive the production of wine and how di erent strains of yeast will e ect consumer goods.

Lichens are symbiotic relationship in which yeast forms a relationship with algae and fungal hyphae. 2 types of lichen with 2 di erent phenotypes: one will make you sick if you eat it, while the other is perfectly ne.
