Yeasts are the single-celled, eukaryotic entities belonging to the Kingdom Fungi. Through the process of fermentation, yeasts are known to convert carbohydrates into carbon dioxide and alcohols. Albugo, on the other hand, is a species of Oomycete and generally referred to as white rust. These at times are also referred to as fungi.
