Abstract
The species of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is being used as an experimental model organism by many researchers to study various genetic and biochemical processes and to study the association among different biological processes. In the emerging field of nanotechnology, the study of stabilization of nanoparticles is gaining the attention of researchers. For this purpose, the biological active compounds from S. cerevisiae are presenting excellent scaffolds. The secretion of extracellular enzymes from yeast and rapid growth with usage of few and simple nutrients in the culture media provides more benefits over other microorganisms. A huge number of reviews have been conducted to examine the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles employing S. cerevisiae. In this chapter, we will review the use of S. cerevisiae as a model organism to study the biological activities of nanoparticles. The cumulative efforts are recorded tools for genetic tractability of S. cerevisiae in the field of growing science and technology.
