Yeasts are the major producer of biotechnology products worldwide, exceeding production in capacity and economic incomes than other groups of industrial microorganisms. Yeasts have wide ranging fundamental and industrial importance in scientific, food, medical and agricultural sciences (Johnson, 2013). Traditionally, yeasts have been used for several fermentations such as alcoholic beverages, biomass production and other fermented food. Fermented foods and beverages play an important role in the diet of African people, and the most often, these foods and beverages are produced at household level or at small industrial scale and are consequently often of varying quality and stability (Mogmenga et al., 2017; Tankoano et al., 2017). In Africa, cereals, legumes and tuber roots are the major raw materials which are mostly fermented but milk, fish and meat are also used (Fguiri et al., 2012; Greppi et al., 2013; Akabanda et al., 2014). Depending to the country or even the locality, various names may be given to the same products that are basically similar with slight variations on production and raw materials. Various yeast species are often isolated from Africa foods and beverages fermentations, and some examples of previously reported species are Candida lusitania, Cryptococcus laurentii, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida kefyr, Issatchenkia orientalis, Kazachstania unisporus, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, Candida pararugosa, Torulaspora delbrueckii, Geotrichum sp., Kazachstania unisporus, Geotrichum fragrans, Yarrowia lipolytica, Trichosporon gracile, Pichia membranifaciens… For most reasons, yeasts are suitable for modern biotechnologies application. For example, yeasts offer the ease of microbial growth and gene manipulation allowed to understand many eukaryote-specific post-translational modifications, such as proteolytic processing, folding, disulfide bridge formation, and glycosylation (Cereghino and Cregg, 1999; Jans et al., 2017). Also, modern biotechnologies application of yeasts involve foreign proteins expressing for the pharmaceutical industry, the production of biofuel, organic acids, bioethanol, industrial enzymes, small molecular weight metabolites… (Türker, 2014). More recently, yeasts species including Pichia pastoris, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and others have been developed for heterologous proteins and enzymes production including pharmaceutical proteins, and as a model and fundamental organisms for the delineation of genes and their function in mammalian and human metabolism and disease processes (Cyert and Philpott, 2013; Johnson, 2013). New developments of yeast in engineering have introduced novel capabilities to extend substrate range and produce new products so far yeast can no produce. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is largest domesticated and still widely exploited yeast species in industrial today. This microorganism has become a valuable tool to study eukaryotic cell because he harbors many enzymes and pathways with counterparts in mammalian cells (Hatoum et al., 2012; Tomo et al., 2013; Mcfarland, ...
