It is also used in biodegradation and study of cell cycle. Yeast on the contrary, is used in making alcoholic beverages which contain ethanol, used in baking, ethanol production, production of food additives and flavors. Mold is multi-cellular with tubular and filamentous hyphae. In contrast, yeast is Uni-cellular and exists either individually or with buds growing on them.
Yeast do not have true hyphae, they form multicellular structures known as pseudo-hyphae. Molds on the other hand, have microscopic filaments known as hyphae. Molds cause allergic reactions and respiratory inflammations whereas yeast can cause infections in individuals with weak immune systems. Viva Differences. The difference Definition. Have a thread-like appearance and can be seen in wide variety of colors and hues with a wooly or fuzzy texture.
In anaerobic respiration, yeasts convert carbohydrates to carbon dioxide and alcohols to produce energy. Yeasts also obtain carbon from hexose sugars.
Molds reproduce by producing small spores, which can be either sexual reproducing using meiosis or asexual reproducing using mitosis. Most yeasts reproduce asexually. The parent nucleus splits in two and the daughter nucleus moves into the bud cell, which continues to grow until it splits from the parent cell. Molds are often used in the production of food and drinks, such as soy sauce, sake, quorn, cheese, rennet and salami.
They are also used in antibiotics such as penicillin , cholestoral-lowering drugs such as Lovastatin , and immunosuppressants such as cyclosporine. Yeasts are used for producing ethanol for alcoholic beverages such as beer , as leavening agents in baking, and as a nutritional supplement for vegans. Their simple cellular structure also makes them valuable resources for geneticists, and they are used to study processes such as the cell cycle, DNA replication and recombination.
Certain types of mold can be hazardous to human health in large quantities and can cause allergic reactions and respiratory problems. Some molds also produce mycotoxins, which pose a serious risk to humans and animals.
Symptoms of mold allergies include Symptoms of a mold allergy are watery, itchy eyes, chronic coug, headaches or migraines, difficulty breathing, tiredness, rashes, sinus problems, nasal blockage, and frequent sneezing. Yeasts can cause infection in people with compromised immune systems. The yeast candida can also cause candidiasis in humans. Here's a good video that talks about the different types of Fungi: Mold, Yeast and Mushrooms and their benefits and health hazards:.
Share this comparison:. If you read this far, you should follow us:. Diffen LLC, n. Yeast are less colorful compared to molds colorless. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Cryptococcus neoformans , etc. Convert carbohydrates to alcohol and carbon dioxide in anaerobic through fermentation. Also obtain carbon from hexose sugars. Can cause infection in individuals with compromised immune systems.
EM radiation does not cause yeast overgrowth. It does cause some heating if strong enough and so could contribute to creating a warm moist environment beneficial to yeast, but the strength from a phone mast 30m away would be way too low to do this. Your other sources of heat in the room would be much greater including the heat you yourselves give out.
Jeremy mentioned CRT devices old style televisions. As well as supplying heat these are in a vented enclosed box which is never cleaned out the TV case so they accumulate all manner of airborne nutrients such as dust mostly dead skin and so could very well provide a great environment for microbial growth , particularly if the room is damp.
If I had the problem you describe I would be thinking of buying a dehumidifier and increase the vacuuming dusting polishing routine.
