title: Microbe sample from Saccharomyces cerevisiae
organism: Saccharomyces cerevisiae
description: The S. cerevisiae strain CEN.PK113-7D, the offspring of parental strains ENY.WA-1A and MC996A, is used extensively in academic and industrial research, especially in metabolic engineering and systems biology, due to a combination of ease of genetic manipulation and a fast growth rate.
