Media for yeast

 
YPD (complete medium)
10 g Yeast extract
20 g Peptone                                      
20 g Agar
900 ml dH2O
Autoclave separately
20 g glucose
100 ml dH2O

for plates add one NaOH pellet


SD (dropout medium, complemented synthetic medium)
6,7 g yeast nitrogen base without amino acids
0,6 g aa mix without His, Trp, Leu, Ura (CSM)
20 g  agar
nn mg amino acids/uracil (powder)
900 ml dH2O

autoclave separately
20 g  sugar (glucose or galactose or galactose+10 g raffinose

for plates add one NaOH pellet

Indicator plates (to assay ß-gal activity)
3,35 g yeast nitrogen base without amino acids
0,3 g aa mix without His, Trp, Leu, Ura (CSM)
10 g  agar
nn mg amino acids/uracil (powder)
one pellet of NaOH
400 ml dH2O

50 ml 1 M K-phosphate, pH 7

10 g  sugar
50 ml H2O

autoclave separately
at 55°C add 1 ml X-Gal (20 mg dissolved in 1 ml DMF), mix before pouring the plates
store plates at 4°C not longer than two months

amino acids/uracil:
20 mg/l    uracil  (100x stock 2,4 mg/ml)
20 mg/l    histidine (100x stock 2,4 mg/ml)
60 mg/l    leucine  (100x stock 7,2 mg/ml)
40 mg/l    tryptophane (100x stock 5 mg/ml)

fill powder into a 2l flask (two fold volume), add NaOH pellet (prevents degradation of agar) and stir bar, add water (1x deionised), autoklave, prepare separately sugar solution or other supplements. Cool down flasks in a water bath to 55°C, mix and pour plates. Dry plates for one to two days on the bench.
plates and media can be stored at room temperature, although for longterm storage 4°C are recommended.
