In addition to its use as a supplement in culture media for microbial research and biotechnology, yeast extract is also used as a component of the complex media for industrial fermentations.It also serves as a nutritional source for various microbial media.

Application

Yeast Extract has been used as a component of:
  • complex media for culturing E. coli clones for shake flask experiments
  • culture media for culturing bacterial species Gluconacetobacter xylinus
  • yeast extract beef (YEB) media for the transformation of Agrobacterium
Yeast extract is used as a bacteriological media component for a variety of microorganisms and molecular genetics applications.
