  1. Prepare 800 mL of distilled water in a suitable container.
  2. Add 0.01 g of Adenine to the solution.
  3. Add 0.05 g of L-Arginine to the solution.
  4. Add 0.08 g of L-Aspartic acid to the solution.
  5. Add 0.02 g of L-Histidine to the solution.
  6. Add 0.05 g of L-Isoleucine to the solution.
  7. Add 0.1 g of L-Leucine to the solution.
  8. Add 0.05 g of L-Lysine to the solution.
  9. Add 0.02 g of L-Methionine to the solution.
  10. Add 0.05 g of L-Phenylalanine to the solution.
  11. Add 0.1 g of L-Threonine to the solution.
  12. Add 0.05 g of L-Tryptophan to the solution.
  13. Add 0.05 g of L-Tyrosine to the solution.
  14. Add 0.14 g of L-Valine to the solution.
  15. Add 0.02 g of Uracil to the solution.
  16. Add distilled water until the volume is 1 L.
  17. Combine the appropriate ingredients, and mix in a sealed container. Omit the desired dropout component. Haploid yeast requires a single dropout (i.e., -Trp=-T or -Leu=-L); diploid yeast requires double dropouts (i.e., -Leu -Trp=-LT); and selecting for interactions requires triple dropouts (i.e., -Leu-Trp -His=-LTH, plus 3-AT).
