Glucose Restriction Extends Chronological Lifespan of Budding Yeast by Avoiding Commonly Used Auxotrophic Marker Nutrient Starvation The survival period of yeast is determined by the type of nutrients they starved of. GR extends lifespan by avoiding auxotrophic starvation. Auxotrophic starvation causes degenerative cellular charac...

In the latest #Yeast research article, Yukinori Ozaki, Taku Ozaki and Qiu-Mei Zhang-Akiyama show that glucose restriction extends chronological #lifespan in budding yeast, while auxotrophic markers can induce abnormal cellular states under starvation.
