Claims
- 1. A yeast fermentation medium comprised of oleic acid, lactic acid and palmitic acid, wherein the fermentation medium does not contain yeast cell extract.
- 2. The yeast fermentation medium of claim 1 wherein the oleic acid, lactic acid and palmitic acid are present in the medium at a ratio of 6:3:1 respectively.
- 3. The yeast fermentation medium of claim 2 further comprised of at least one of the substances selected from the group consisting of glutamic acid, citric acid, KH2PO4, CaCl2, glucose, [NH4]2SO4, zinc chloride, ferric chloride, manganese, copper sulfate, cobalt chloride, boric acid, ammonium molybdate, potassium iodide, biotin, thiamine hydrochloride, pyrodoxine HCl, inositol, calcium pantothenate, niacinamide, folic acid, riboflavin, choline chloride.
- 4. A yeast fermentation medium in solution comprised of oleic acid, lactic acid, palmitic acid, glutamic acid citric acid, potassium ions, calcium ions, zinc ions, ferric ions, manganese ions, biotin, thiamine, pyrodoxine, inositol, niacinamide, folic acid, riboflavin and choline ions, and wherein the yeast fermentation medium does not contain yeast cell extract.
- 5. A method for growing yeast comprising inoculating the yeast in a yeast fermentation medium comprised of oleic acid, lactic acid, palmitic acid, glutamic acid, citric acid, potassium ions, calcium ions, zinc ions, ferric ions, manganese ions, biotin, pyrodoxine, inositol, pantothenic acid and choline ions, and wherein the yeast fermentation medium does not contain yeast cell extract.
- 6. The method of claim 5 wherein the yeast is Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
- 7. A method for expressing a heterologous protein in yeast comprising inoculating yeast which have been transformed with DNA encoding the heterologous protein into a fermentation medium, said fermentation medium being comprised of oleic acid, lactic acid and palmitic acid and wherein the fermentation medium does not contain yeast cell extract.
- 8. The method of claim 7 wherein the heterologous protein is human factor XIII.
- 9. The method of claim 8 wherein the yeast is Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
