Yeast Nitrogen Base (YNB) media have been prepared according the formulae of Wickerham (1943-51) and Burkholder (1943). Their research on the nutritional requirements of yeast strains resulted in the formulation of YNB. YNB is a well defined composition of salts, vitamins, amino acids and a nitrogen source for a vigorous growth of Sacharomyces cerevisiae.

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 6.7g in 800-900ml ddH2O of ddH2O. Heat with stirring until completely solubilized. Adjust pH as necessary. Add additional water to bring the solution to1L. 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.

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

Appearance: White to off-white, homogeneous, free-flowing powder

Solubility: Colorless to pale yellow, clear, complete

pH: As reported
