D-(+)-Galactose has been used:
- as a supplement in SGal media to grow yeast strains to examine the role of different Ssa heat-shock proteins (Hsp70) isoforms in Hsp90 chaperoning functions
- as a carbon source in Biolog (MT2) microplate assay to test the ability of isolates to utilize carbon substrates
- to induce expression of membrane protein-green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusion in yeast
