YEAST EXTRACT POWDER TYPE-I (Bacteriological Grade)

Description

Yeast Extract Powder Type-1 is derived from an aqueous extract of yeast cells. It is a rich source of amino nitrogen. It provides vitamins, nitrogen, amino acids, and carbon required for bacterial growth. It is used extensively for many non-animal formulations of bacterial, fungal, mammalian, and insect cell cultures and molecular genetics applications. It is a yellow to light brownish, free-flowing powder having a characteristic yeast odour but not a pungent smell. It is the water-soluble portion of autolyzed yeast containing vitamin B complex. Yeast Extract is an excellent stimulator of bacterial growth and is used in culture media. The autolysis is carefully controlled to preserve the naturally occurring B complex vitamins. It is also a suitable alternative to meat extract.
