Transformation is widely used in molecular biology. Some of the common uses of yeast transformation are as follows [28]:

 

• Yeast transformants can be used further for cell lysis and plasmid preparation purposes.

• The plasmid DNA obtained from the transformants can be then used as PCR templates or for the transformation of E. coli.

• Yeast transformants are used in yeast two-hybrid systems to study protein-protein or protein-DNA interactions.

• Yeast transformation techniques can also be used for the commercial manufacture of proteins and enzymes.

• They are also used in the food industry and plant waste disposal systems.

• Yeast expression systems designed for the synthesis and secretion of human proteins (like interleukin-1β) may have immense therapeutic potential in the pharmaceutical industry.

 

Here is a short video of Global Yeast Market to give you a general idea of applications [29].
