The invention relates to a yeast having immunopotentiating effect and food or feed containing thereof. An objective of the invention is to provide a yeast which has good security, plays a good immunological enhancement even when taking in thallus directly, and is cheap and easy to buy, and can be directly used in food manufacturing, and can be cultrured under low hyposmolality, and to provide food containing the yeast. The yeast is characterized in that having a low mannan content, wherein the yeast has an immunopotentiating capability, and is able to grow in a YPD liquid medium with an osmotic pressure of 300 m Osm. The yeast is preferably selected from one of Saccharomyces cerevisiae FERM BP-11293 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae FERM BP-11294. |
