Principle and Interpretation
YPD (YEPD) Growth Agar is used for the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Yeasts are unicellular eukaryotes and extensively studied model organism in molecular genetics. They are chemoorganotrophs as they utilize organic compounds as a source of energy. YPD (YEPD) Growth Agar is used for the maintenance and propagation of yeasts including S. cerevisiae in various molecular microbiology procedures (1, 2). YPD functions as a complete medium for yeast growth and it contains yeast extract, peptone and glucose or dextrose. Yeast extract supplies B-complex vitamins and it contains all the amino acids necessary for growth. Peptone acts as the source of nitrogen, vitamins and minerals. Dextrose serves as the carbon source. This medium supports the vigorous growth of wild type as well as mutant strains of all kinds of budding yeast.
