Principle and Interpretation
Yeast Nitrogen Base (YNB) w/o Ammonium Sulphate is used for the growth of all strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This yeast strain is called budding yeast and is extensively studied microorganism in molecular and cell biology. Yeast Nitrogen Base (YNB) w/o Ammonium Sulfate is developed according to the formulae of Wickerham (1, 2) which supplies the required nutritional elements for budding yeast cells. This media is used for the classification of yeast strains based on the carbon and nitrogen requirements and it contains all the essential vitamins and inorganic salts except Ammonium sulphate which is required for the propagation of yeast cells. Furthermore, this media does not contain the amino acids namely, histidine, methionine, leucine, lysine and tryptophan.
Quality Control
Appearance of Powder: Light yellow coloured, homogeneous, free flowing powder.
