YE GROWTH MEDIUM

YE Growth Medium is used for the growth of Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Schizosaccharomyces pombe, also called “fission yeast”, is a species of yeast. It is used as a model organism in molecular and cell biology. It is possibly the eukaryote with the shortest genome. These cells maintain their shape by growing through the cell tips and divide by medial fission to produce two daughter cells of equal sizes that makes them a powerful tool in cell cycle research. It was first developed as an experimental model in the 1950’s for studying genetics and for studying the cell cycle.
