Rising agent (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yeast

'rising agent' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for yeast that I've seen before include "Fungi used in bakery" , "Baker's raising agent" , "Rising agent" , "Fungus used in fermenting" , "Agent for making bread" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
