Hyphal-like extension and pseudohyphal formation in industrial strains of yeasts induced by isoamyl alcohol

Yeasts can produce pseudohyphae and hyphal-like extensions under certain growth conditions like isoamyl alcohol (IAA) induction, a chief constituent of fusel oil, which is a subproduct from the ethanolic fermentation. The morphology switch from yeast to a filamentous form can be troublesome to the p...
