Would someone explain why they use "baker's yeast" without any articles in the following sentnce?
But little was known about how autophagy happens, what genes were involved, or its role in disease and normal development until Dr. Ohsumi began studying the process in baker's yeast.

Can't you use "a baker's yeast" or "bakers' yeast"?
Can you also say "butcher's meat" like "We don't buy butcher's meat"?
Thanks in advance.
