General description

Yeast Nitrogen Base is a highly-referenced growth medium used for the cultivation of yeast. This nutrient-rich microbial broth contains nitrogen, vitamins, trace elements and salts.
Yeast Nitrogen Base is considered ideal for culturing wild type yeast. The presence of amino acid is known to prevent selectable marker utilization. Hence, this media is formulated without amino acids and is useful for cloning and manipulation of yeast artificial chromosome.

Application

Suitable for use in classifying yeasts based on amino acid and carbon requirements. Addition of amino acids and carbon source (usually glucose) may be required.
Yeast Nitrogen Base Without Amino Acids has been used:
  • in synthetic complete supplement mixture (SC)-Leu media used for Y. lipolytica culturing and characterization
  • as a component of selective liquid media for uracil auxothrophic growth in yeast
  • to evaluate the transformation efficiencies of S. cerevisiae strains, under different nutrient conditions

Various factors are thought to be responsible for Candida albicans virulence, such as lipases, proteases and adhesins. Many of these factors are GPI-anchored cell surface proteins responsible for pathogenicity. Hwp2 is a putative GPI-anchored protein. The purpose of this study

Many platform chemicals can be produced from renewable biomass by microorganisms, with organic acids making up a large fraction. Intolerance to the resulting low pH growth conditions, however, remains a challenge for the industrial production of organic acids by microorganisms.
