Description
- Description General methods in yeast genetics specify using yeast extract-peptone-dextrose (YPD) medium for cultivating Saccharomyces cerevisiae and other yeasts
- Yeasts grow well on a minimal medium containing only dextrose and salts
- The addition of protein and yeast cell extract hydrolysates allows faster growth so that during exponential or log-phase growth, the cells divide every 90 minutes
- Peptone acts as a source of carbon, nitrogen, vitamins and minerals Yeast extract supplies B-complex vitamins, which stimulate bacterial growth Dextrose is the carbohydrate source Agar acts as the solidifying agent pH (6.5% solution, 25°C): 6.5 ± 0.2 Order Info Prices are for units of one each unless otherwise specified.
