Introduction

Yeasts ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae) are important eukaryotic micro-organism , having range of application such as fermentation, baking and bioremediation. Nutrient cell content of yeasts known as ‘Yeast extract ‘ is extensively used as nutritional resource in bacterial culture media.

Importance of Project

Regardless of availability of numerous commercial yeast extracts for preparation of microbial culture media , a simple method for preparing the high quality yeast extract will be of great benefits.

My aim in ongoing project is to produce a rapid ,simple and cost benefit process to produce yeast extract.

Objectives

Isolation of yeast from yoghurt for Yeast Extract production.

Protocol

1. Preparing yeast suspension through serial dilutionTake 10 ml yoghurt transfer it into 90 ml 0.1% of sterile peptone solution         (100 mg peptone into 99ml of distilled water)

2, Transfer 1ml of solution into 9ml of 0.1% peptone solution by using pippete

3 .Repeat this procedure for three times and prepare dilutions of 10-1 , 10-2, 10-3 and 10-4  

                                                                                             PLATE NO. 1 : SERIAL DILUTION

4. Strike the suspension on respective nutrient media , here used YEPD Agar Media for yeast colony growth

5. Use small amount of inoculum by using nichrome  loop for striking ( four quadrant method).

6. Make sure that the surface of plate is free from moisture droplet.

  • Principles of the Procedure

YPD Agar and YPD Broth contain peptone as a source of carbon, nitrogen, vitamins and minerals. Yeast extract supplies
B-complex vitamins which stimulate bacterial growth. Dextrose is the carbohydrate source. YPD Agar contains agar as the solidifying agent.

7. Single colony  of yeast from plate transfer into YEPD BROTH using loop .

8. Multiplication of cells done by giving continous agitation to broth using rotatry shaker to collect pure culture.
