The essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids in the medium acts carbon and nitrogen source.
Application
YPD agar has been used as a culture media:
- to cultivate S. cerevisiae strains to find a long-term preservation method for a deep space biosensor mission
- for yeast strains in in vitro broth microdilution (BMD) based on minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)
- for Zymoseptori triciti strains for virulence studies
