Sartorius, 01-357-1B, Yeastolate Solution X50, 100ml

As peptones, both Yeastolate Solution Concentrate (50X) and Lactalbumin hydrolysate (LAH) are frequently utilized as nutritional supplements for preparing bacterial, insect and mammalian cell culture, especially as a rich source of amino acids. Together in synergy, they both serve as combinations of amino acids, water-soluble peptides, simple and complex carbohydrates (CHO's) as well as vitamins. Yeastolate is a yeast extract obtained after the autolysis of yeast cells of Saccharomyces cervisiae. Yeastolate is a complex mixture and identification of the constituents responsible for cell growth promotion has yet not been achieved. Further fractionation, isolation and identification of individual active components are needed to better understand the role of these components on cell metabolism.
