Materials

  • YPD Media
  • YPD Plates with either DMSO or 2-200 nM Rapamycin
  • Yeast strains, streaked out on appropriate plate (< 1 month old)

Protocol

  1. Innoculate 3 mL of YPD in a small erlenmeyer flask with one colony of yeast
  2. Grow for ~8h at 24C
  3. Check OD-600
  4. Estimate how much to dilute yeast so that the next morning the OD is 0.3. For example, if the doubling time is 2.25h, then from 5 PM to 9 AM is 16h or 7.1 doublings, of 137 times the OD. Therefore to get an OD of 0.3, you need to innoculate at 0.3/137 = 0.00219.
  5. For each flask innoculate several dilutions
