 Schizosaccharomyces pombe is species of Yeast under the Fungi kingdom and it is also named 'fission yeast'. It is commonly used model organism, due to it having many cellular processes similar to homo sapiens, and its relavtive ease to genetically manipulate

The cells themselves have a rod shape structure and divide via 'fission'. This is where 'division occurs when a septum, or cell plate, forms midway along the rod.'
