Hi all. I am starting to work with S. cerevisiae Y187 and I am not sure in what media it should be cultivated. Could someone please give me some tips? Thank you.
Y187 is a commercial yeast strain ideal for two-hybrid screening. It has the following genotype: MATα, ura3-52, his3-200, ade2-101, trp1-901, leu2-3, 112, gal4Δ, met–, gal80Δ, MEL1, URA3::GAL1UAS -GAL1TATA-lacZ.
You should first grow the strain in adenine-supplemented YPD (YPDA) media. Then check auxotrophy by culturing in dropout media: Leu-, His-, Trp-, Met-, and Ade-.
