Principle and Interpretation

Yeast Nitrogen Base (YNB) w/ 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/ Ammonium Sulfate is developed according to the formulae of Wickerham and Burkholder (1, 2, 3) 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 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. Addition of a carbon source is required for the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Quality Control

Appearance of Powder: White to off-white coloured, homogeneous, free flowing powder.

Colour and Clarity: Colour, clear solution without any precipitate.

Cultural Response: Cultural characteristics observed after an incubation at 25-30°C for 18 - 48 hours.

Organisms (ATCC) Growth
Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC9763 good-luxuriant

Storage and Shelf-life

Store below 30°C in tightly closed container and the prepared medium at 2 - 8°C. Use before expiry date on the label.
