Saccharomyces Cerevisiae - Live

Saccharomyces cerevisiae - Live fungal culture

Cultures are supplied labelled, on agar slopes in screw top vials.

All fungi cultures supplied have been selected for school use and checked for purity before dispatch by the producer. Although considered to be non-pathogenic, the possibility exists of mutation, accidental contamination, or over-sensitivity of an individual to a particular organism. It is therefore important that all cultures are viewed as being potentially dangerous and are handled and treated accordingly.

Storage and shelf life

Shelf life approx. 3-4 weeks at 4°C

To keep for longer you will need to subculture the fungi.

S. cerevisiae is a single celled fungus (yeast) commonly used in brewing and bread making. the cells are round to ovoid in shape and 5-10um diameter, and can suvive using both sexual and asexual reproduction. Respiration is both aerobic and anaerobic. the oxygen availability will dectate which sugars they can grow on. Growth is by budding, making them easy to study asexual reproduction in the laboratory.

Culture media: malt extract agar

Temp: 27°C
