Greetings!!!
I have few doubts regarding the preparation of YPD solid media for yeast
which contain Polyethylene glycol (PEG) for drought studies.
Doubt 1.
When PEG is added to media before autoclaving it is found to effect the
solidification of media.
When it is added after autoclaving media pH found to alter. What can be done
to solve these issues.
Doubt 2.
While preparing YPD media is it necessary to use buffer like MES buffer as
in case of MS media to maintain the pH (Key point- pH maintenance).
When PEG is added to MS media, MES buffer is also added to media like MS(For
plant) maintain the pH of media. Did you use some buffer in case of YPD
media for yeast culture? If not what measures can be taken to avoid the pH
change while PEG is added to YPD media.
Doubt 3.
What is the pH (Range) of YPD media can be used to grow yeast? And which is
more ideal?
Please share with me the protocol for the preparation of 10%, 15%, 20% PEG
containing YPD-solid media for yeast.
Thanking you in advance
Sincerely,
Sajeesh Kappachery
