Why are Yeast Extracts and Yeast Peptones Complementary?

Probiotics, bioingredients, and biopharmaceutical players, dealing with microorganisms, face many challenges such as producing a satisfying yield of viable biomass or guaranteeing the target metabolite titer. Furthermore, many probiotic strains can be difficult to cultivate; ensuring they receive the optimal nutrients is essential.
Within the category of yeast-based nutrients, yeast peptones and yeast extracts are two of the most used in industrial fermentation. In combination, yeast extracts and yeast peptones have proven to be one of the most suitable nitrogen sources to ensure microbial growth, and cell activity.
