General description

Yeast extract is a water-soluble derivative of yeast (Saccharomyces) cells. Our M-Gredient® Yeast Extract A2 Prime, for Biotechnology and Microbiology (Cat. No. 113885) is prepared by autolysis of a specifically selected yeast strain grown on a molasses-based media. The autolysis is carefully controlled to preserve the naturally occurring vitamins. After the autolysis, the yeast extract is separated, concentrated and then filtrated. In a next heat treatment step, pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms are destroyed. After another concentration step the product is spray dried.

Application

Yeast extract is used as a bacteriological media component for the cultivation of a variety of microorganisms and molecular genetics applications. It is also suitable for use as a nutritional source in microbial media.
