Lupin peptone as a replacement for animal-derived peptone in rich culture media for yeast.

Lupin peptone was shown to be a suitable replacement for traditional bacteriological peptone in the culture of Candida glabrata, Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This new medium formulation allows yeast researchers to increase safety and to eliminate the use of animal products for the culture of yeast in rich medium.
