Thermo Scientific™ Lysine Medium (Dehydrated)

Description

• Isolate and enumerate wild yeasts encountered in brewing while suppressing pitching yeasts with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Lysine Medium (Dehydrated)
• This complex, synthetic medium is based on the original formula of Morris & Eddy 1 which utilizes the susceptibility of pitching yeasts to lysine to differentiate it from the wild yeast
• Morris and Eddy 1 described this complex medium for the isolation and enumeration of wild yeasts in pitching yeast in the brewery industry
• Walters and Thiselton 2 used a liquid synthetic medium containing lysine as a sole nitrogen source and found that many types of yeast utilize lysine
• Later Morris and Eddy 1 also formulated solid lysine medium
• Most of the Saccharomyces strains used in the brewery industry and other fermentative industries do not use lysine, whereas the wild strains do
