Yeast Nitrogen Base Agar (Twin Pack) is a modification of Yeast Nitrogen Base which was formulated by Wickerham and Burton. This media is widely used for assessing carbohydrate utilizing ability of yeasts using the carbohydrate disc method. In the original auxanographic technique, small amounts of dry carbohydrates placed on the surface of a heavily seeded synthetic agar medium. Growth around the carbohydrate indicates that the sugar is assimilated as a carbon source by the yeast. The pattern of utilized carbohydrates is an auxanogram. An alternative technique used these days is, a filter paper disc impregnated with carbohydrate, instead of a dry carbohydrate.
