YPD Broth is a standard basal medium recommended for routine cultivation and molecular biology studies of yeasts. Its simple yet balanced formulation consists of yeast extract, peptone, and glucose (dextrose). The bacteriological peptone provides essential nitrogenous nutrients and amino acids, while the yeast extract supplies B-complex vitamins and additional growth factors. Glucose serves as the primary carbohydrate and energy source. Due to its high nutrient content, it supports high-density cultures and is ideal for protein expression, molecular cloning, and general yeast genetics research.
