Microbiology of yeast.

Does anyone know of a condensed source of information on the biology of yeast? Difference of strains, classification, info on the cell wall (chitin vs cellulose or otherwise). I simply wish to understand this creature a little better.

Brigg's Brewing Science and Practice is pretty much phenomenal, and chapters 11-13 cover yeast in enough depth that your next step would be to start hitting up the journals. It's a spend book, but most university libraries should have it.

(Chris White's book "Yeast" is obviously the real starting point, but I'm assuming you've already read that and want the next step. If you haven't, get that book.)
