Product overview
Yeast Extract is a spray dried extract manufactured by complete autolysis, i.e. a transformation of proteins into peptides, and amino acids, implemented through the proteolytic enzymes present in yeast cells.
The cell membranes are discarded, enabling completely soluble yeast extracts to be obtained. Besides peptides and amino acids yeast extract also contains purine and pyrimidine bases, carbohydrates and water soluble vitamins of B group.
Sodium Chloride concentration of Formedium™Yeast Extract is low and also therefore well suited for cultivation of yeast cells.
Due to its carbohydrate content, typically 10%, yeast extract is not suitable for media intended for the study of sugar fermentation.
