Also, one of the boys will be shot, but I’ll eventually help him go to college after I find...
...also discovered the evolutionary purpose of this gene: to provide “a very simple defense mechanism,” according to Verstrepen. “These yeast form a big clump of cells,” he explained, “and the outer cells protect the inner cells from a toxic agent in the environment.” Verstrepen also found that the toxin ethanol, produced by yeast as a byproduct of cell metabolism, has harmful effects that can be avoided by flocculating. This helps explain how fermentation works. But another important application of his research initially...
