“…Furthermore, glycogen is generally synthesized when there is excess of carbon relatively to other nutritive elements in the medium [ 64 ]. The absence of glycogen accumulation in presence of yeast extract can therefore be explained by the increase in nitrogen and phosphorus content present in the undefined mixture of amino acids, peptides and vitamins in the yeast extract.…”
