Product Summary and Explanation
Developed through extensive research by Green and Gray, W-L Nutrient Medium emerged from a series of comprehensive studies on fermentation control methods applicable to worts, beers, liquid yeasts, and similar fermentation products. This unique nutrient medium is designed to support the optimal growth of viable baker’s yeast at a pH of 5.5, making it a vital resource for yeast propagation and fermentation analysis. W-L Nutrient Medium is also known as “Wallerstein Laboratory Medium,” reflecting its foundational role in fermentation science.
