The baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe are model eukaryotes and extensively studied model organism in molecular genetics. HiMedia has formulated a range of media for the maintenance and propagation of these two yeast strains and there are options for rich as well as synthetic media. The synthetic dropout formulations are very convenient for the screening of auxotrophic mutants during molecular genetic studies. Furthermore, this section includes vegetative as well as sporulation growth media as both these yeast strains can go through mitotic or meiotic cell cycle depending upon the composition of the media. |
