Concentrations of glucose, ammonium sulfate, and yeast nitrogen base are listed in g/L. Concentrations of other supplements are listed in mg/L. Yeast nitrogen base does not contain ammonium sulfate (AS) or amino acids (AA). SD and SC1 are prepared according to Sherman Sherman, 2002). SC2 is prepared according to Fink Amberg et al., 2005;Styles, 2002). In some experiments, as indicated in the text, different combinations and/or amounts of supplements were present in synthetic minimal media at concentrations equal to, or three-fold higher than, those shown in the SC1 column.
