Yeast Cultivation and Propagation: Rich, non-selective medium for robust growth of laboratory yeasts on solid plates.

Colony Isolation and Enumeration (CFU): Supports single-colony isolation, counting, and purification of yeast strains.

Strain Maintenance: Routine streaking and passaging to maintain viable yeast stocks on solid media.

Transformation Recovery: Non-selective recovery medium after chemical or electroporation-based yeast transformations.

Replica Plating and Patching: Transfer of colonies for genetic screens, phenotype comparisons, and library handling.

Mating Assays: Crossing of yeast strains and subsequent growth to assess mating efficiency and zygote formation.

Phenotypic Screening: Assessment of growth under temperature, stress, or drug conditions on a rich background.

Starter Plate Preparation: Generation of robust inocula for subsequent liquid culture in rich media.
