What are Vegemite, Promite, Bovril and Yeast Extract?

The Marmite FAQ
Vegemite is an Australian product, manufactured by Kraft Foods Ltd, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, and is generally described by Marmite fans as a weaker version spread than British-produced Marmite—I can personally back this statement up. Vegemite fans have claimed that it is stronger than some non British-produced Marmite, but that doesn't say much for that "Marmite". Promite is another Australian Marmite knockoff.

why call it "sonic vegemite"?

SONIC VEGEMITE]
Vegemite is a sandwich spread. Jam is also a sandwich spread. (Or, if you're American, "jelly", for some reason I haven't yet been able to fathom.) At any rate, "Sonic Jam" is the name of a greatest hits package/3-D model test/"game" on the Sega Saturn, so I thought I'd be incredibly hilarious with a bad Australian food pun. Whoo.

How are yeast-specific processes represented in GO?

Frequently Asked Questions
The GO system is meant to be as broadly applicable as possible across different species. Thus, species-specific jargon is avoided in the phrasing of terms. In cases where a term is relevant to multiple different organisms but is fundamentally different in one organism compared to the others, a 'sensu' phrase is appended to the term. For example, a term that has 'sensu Saccharomyces' in its name indicates that this term represents a process or component as it occurs in the genus Saccharomyces.
