Is there any agent that can be put in media which will discourage
bacterial growth, but won't bother yeast? If you know of anything like
that, please email mlevin@husc8.harvard.edu.

If you know of anything like : that, please email mlevin@husc8.harvard.edu. : Mike Levin Most of the antibiotics used in cell culture (penn-strep, gentamycin, etc.) are only effective against prokaryotes. Fungicides are typically required to kill yeast. However, this is not to say that yeast won't have any adverse responses to the prokaryote-targeted antibiotics, if it's yeast you're TRYING to culture. (But who in their right mind would want to do this?) :-) S.W. Barger Sanders-Brown Center on Aging
