Yeast Nitrogen Base (YNB) media have been prepared according the formulae of Wickerham (1943-51) and Burkholder (1943). YNB is a well defined composition of salts, vitamins, amino acids and a nitrogen source for a vigorous growth of Sacharomyces cerevisiae.
Y2030 has the same formulation as YNB without Amino Acids except that ammonium sulfate as a source of nitrogen has been omitted to test the ability of yeast cells to assimilate different nitrogen sources (i.e. Potassium Nitrate).

Application: For carbon assimilation tests in the characterization and identification of yeasts.

Note: The addition of a carbon source like glucose, galactose or raffinose is required.


Directions per Liter: Dissolve 1.72g in 800-900ml of ddH2O stirring gently until completely solubilized. Adjust pH of the medium to the desired level. Add additional water to bring the solution to 1L. Filter-sterilize using a 0.22 micron membrane filter. Aliquot into sterile containers. Do not autoclave. Contains heat-labile compounds that can be damaged with autoclaving.

Storage and Stability: Store powdered media at RT. Opened bottles should be capped tightly and kept in a dark, low humidity environment. Prepared media should be kept at 4°C and used within a short period of time.

Appearance: Off-white to light yellow, homogeneous free-flowing powder.

Solubility: Colorless to pale yellow, clear, complete

pH: 4.7± 0.6

Note: The addition of a carbon source like glucose, galactose or raffinose is required.
