Yeast Extract Powder

Complex Nutrient Source for Microbiology & Fermentation

Catalog Number: AS-1010
CAS Number: 8013-01-2

Overview

Yeast Extract Powder is a highly soluble, complex nutrient source produced by the autolysis and extraction of yeast cells, followed by drying. It is an essential component of microbiological culture media, supplying readily available nitrogen, carbon, vitamins, amino acids, and growth factors required for microbial growth.

Yeast Extract Powder is particularly valuable for the cultivation of fastidious bacteria and is widely used in routine microbiology, fermentation, and biotechnology applications. Its rich nutritional profile enhances growth rate, biomass yield, and metabolic activity, making it a core ingredient in many standard and compendial media formulations.

Ausamics Yeast Extract Powder is manufactured to ensure consistent solubility, reproducible performance, and batch-to-batch reliability.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Rich source of amino acids, peptides, and B-complex vitamins

  • Supplies carbon and nitrogen essential for microbial metabolism

  • Provides growth factors, nucleotides, and trace elements

  • Highly water-soluble for easy media preparation

  • Supports growth of fastidious and demanding microorganisms

Typical Applications

  • Component of microbiological culture media for:

    • Bacteria

    • Yeasts

    • Moulds

  • Fermentation and biotechnology research

  • Antibiotic assay and pharmaceutical microbiology media

  • Industrial and research microbiology laboratories

Principle of the Product

Yeast Extract Powder provides pre-digested nutrients that microorganisms can directly assimilate without additional enzymatic breakdown. The presence of free amino acids, peptides, vitamins, and minerals reduces metabolic burden on cells, resulting in rapid growth, improved colony development, and consistent performance across a wide range of microorganisms.

Typical Composition

Yeast Extract Powder is a naturally derived complex mixture containing:

  • Free amino acids and peptides

  • B-complex vitamins

  • Carbohydrates

  • Nucleotides

  • Minerals and trace elements

(Exact composition may vary naturally between batches.)
