Ready-to-use YPD Agar Plates with 250 µg/mL Hygromycin are synthetic drop-out medium plates for the selective growth of recombinant yeast.
Hygromycin is used to select for mutated or transformed cells that that carry the hygromycin resistance gene [hygromycin phosphotransferase (hphB) gene from Streptomyces hygroscopicus].
Contains 2.0% (20 g/L) peptone, 1.0% (10 g/L) yeast extract, 2.0% glucose, 250 µg/mL hygromycin-B, and 1.5% agar.
