Yeast S. cerevisiae ADE 2 catabolic repression kit - powder medium (for 500 mL)

This set, specifically dedicated to the second grade class, is designed for quick implementation. Ideal for an introduction to basic techniques of cultivating microorganisms. By modifying environmental culture parameters of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae ADE2, the student will experimentally demonstrate that gene expression is subject to environmental factors. Thus, they will be able to manipulate the adenine content and/or create anaerobic conditions and then compare the results to the control box. The ADE2 yeast on complete medium uses an adenine biosynthesis pathway that carries a mutation leading to the accumulation of a red pigment. In a very adenine-rich environment (provided by the tablet), the yeast does not use this biosynthesis pathway: the colonies therefore regain their usual beige/cream color. Information for ordering: Order 2 weeks before the desired delivery date. Specify the desired delivery date before ordering. Deliveries are made exclusively on Tuesdays and Wednesdays before 1:00 p.m. and will not be included with the rest of the equipment. Format: 18 complete tests (2 proposed versions) Experiment duration: 2 sessions of 50 minutes Storage duration: 1 week (or more if the strain is subcultured) Storage condition: +4°C A kit consists of: - 1 strain box for subculturing (S. cerevisiae ADE2) - 36 Petri dishes - 500 mL of dehydrated YPG medium - 20 adenine-impregnated tablets

A kit consists of a strain dish for subculturing (S. cerevisiae ADE 2) + 20 ready-to-use adenine pellets + Petri dishes + YPG culture medium. 2 versions for 18 pairs are available.
