General description

Yeast Nitrogen Base is a highly-referenced growth medium used for the cultivation of yeast. This nutrient-rich microbial broth contains amino acids, nitrogen, vitamins, trace elements and salts.

Application

Yeast Nitrogen Base With Amino Acids has been used:
  • in the ZYP-31 media preparation for E.coli
  • in synthetic dextrose (SD) medium to evaluate the influence of nitrogen source
  • to culture Candida utilis for the production of 13C-labeled yeast extract as internal standard
  • in the preparation of imaging medium

Suitable for use in classifying yeasts based on carbon requirements. Also suitable for general growth of yeasts with the addition of a carbon source (usually glucose).Yeast nitrogen base with amino acids is a satisfactory nitrogen source for general growth media. Contains all essential nutrients required for the growth of yeasts except carbohydrate.

Reconstitution

Make a 10x concentrated stock solution by stirring to suspend 6.7g yeast nitrogen base powder and 5 g glucose in 100 mL water. Warm if necessary to aid solubilization. Filter sterilize and store at 2-8°C.

Dilute the 10x concentrated stock to a 1x working solution by adding 100mL concentrated stock to 900mL sterile water.

Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) is predicted to increase to almost 158 million cases annually by 2030. Extensive self-diagnosis and easily accessible over-the-counter (OTC) fungistatic drugs contribute to antifungal-resistance, illustrating the need for novel therapies.

Articles

Technical Article on yeast media. Yeasts are eukaryotic microorganisms whose genomes have been comprehensively studied and some have been sequenced.

Protocols

Yeasts are considered model systems for eukaryotic studies as they exhibit fast growth and have dispersed cells. Yeast cultures can be grown, maintained, and stored in liquid media or on agar plates using techniques similar to those for bacterial cultures.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
