Although yeasts are unicellular microorganisms that can live independently, they can also communicate with other cells, in order to adapt to the environment. Two yeast species, the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, engage in various kinds of intraspecies cell-cell communication using peptides and chemical molecules that they produce, constituting a sort of 'language'. Cell-cell communication is a fundamental biological process, and its ultimate purpose is to promote survival by sexual reproduction and acquisition of nutrients from the environment. This review summarizes what is known about intraspecies cell-cell communication mediated by molecules including mating pheromones, volatile gases, aromatic alcohols and oxylipins in laboratory strains of S. cerevisiae and S. pombe.

酵母中种内细胞间通讯。

尽管酵母是可以独立生活的单细胞微生物，但它们也可以与其他细胞通讯，以适应环境。两种酵母物种，即芽生的酿酒酵母和裂殖酵母粟酒裂殖酵母，利用它们产生的肽和化学分子参与种内种间的细胞间通讯，构成一种“语言”。细胞之间的通讯是一个基本的生物学过程，其最终目的是通过有性繁殖和从环境中获取营养来促进生存。这篇综述总结了由酿酒酵母和粟酒裂殖酵母实验室菌株中包括交配信息素，挥发性气体，芳香族醇和脂蛋白的分子介导的种内细胞间通讯的已知情况。
