General description

YPD agar is a complete yeast culture medium for most yeast species, especially for Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It is also known as YEPD and comprises of yeast extract, bacteriological peptone, glucose, and agar. The components of this media provide all the necessary nutrients for yeast growth. 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

Preparation Note

1. Suspend 65 g in 1 L of distilled water.
2. Heat to boiling while stirring to dissolve all ingredients completely.
3. Autoclave for 15 minutes at 121°C.

Tachyplesin-1 (TP1; 1) is a cationic β-hairpin antimicrobial peptide with a membranolytic mechanism of action. While it possesses broad-spectrum, potent antimicrobial activity, 1 is highly hemolytic against mammalian erythrocytes, which precludes it from further development. In this study, we report

Candida glabrata (C. glabrata) forms part of the normal human gut microbiota but can cause life-threatening invasive infections in immune-compromised individuals. C. glabrata displays high resistance to common azole antifungals, which necessitates new treatments. In this investigation, we identified five
