YPD Agar is used for maintaining and developing yeast in molecular microbiology procedures. The formula is the same as in YP Agar Base Medium (Cat. 1513) but with the dextrose added.
YPD Agar is also used to cultivate Saccharomyces cerevisiae and other yeasts. Yeasts grow well on a medium containing only a minimal amount of glucose and salts. This medium contains dextrose (with the addition of dextrose after autoclaving), salts and proteins, which favors the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and reduces growing times. Yeast extract is the source of vitamins, particularly the B-group. Peptone provides nitrogen, vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Bacteriological agar is the solidifying agent.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae has a genome of 14 Mb containing 6000 genes arranged in 16 chromosomes, which have been completely sequenced, and thus, is a species type in microbiology and genetics studies.
