Abstract
In this study, we tested a number of defined and undefined compounds i n comparison with yeastolate in Sf-9 insect cell culture including a g roup of B vitamins and a series of purines and pyrimidines. Yeastolate promoted the cell growth appreciably, increasing the maximum cell den sity by more than 60%. Vitamins and purines, which are considered as t he major constituents of yeastolate, are not responsible for its growt h-promoting effect.
