Yest autolysates as components of nutrient media for cultivation of microorganisms

Yeast autolysates and extracts as sources of vitamins and growth supplements are used to cultivate microorganisms of various physiological groups. Considering the prospects of this appoach, we attempted to use the autolysate of the yeast strain Rhodotorula mucilaginosa AgIV as a protein component of experimental nutrient media for cultivation of Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Candida albicans isolated from neurotrophic ulcers. When studying the stability of the main biological properties of microorganisms as well as differentiating and inhibitory properties of experimental media, no differences were found with the results obtained by inoculating the test strains on control nutrient media.
