What does TORULA mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A yeast-like fungus that grows in chains of rounded cells, some kinds of which are cultivated for food and animal feed as a source of protein and vitamins.
Torula grows on decaying plant matter and other organic material, forming long chains of round or oval cells rather than the single budding cells typical of common baker's yeast. Manufacturers cultivate certain species commercially, marketing the dried product as torula yeast, a protein- and vitamin-rich ingredient used in animal feed and, in smaller amounts, in some human food products. A few kinds of torula are also studied as a cause of fungal infection rather than as a food source.
