YT Broth, Granulated (2X YT Broth, Granulated)
Intended Use
YT Broth, granulated is used for the cultivation of recombinant strains of Escherichia coli.
Composition
| Ingredients | Gms/Litre |
|---|---|
| Casein enzymic hydrolysate | 16.000 |
| Yeast extract | 10.000 |
| Sodium chloride | 5.000 |
| Final pH (at 25°C) | 7.0±0.2 |
**Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters
Directions
Suspend 31.0 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Dispense in tubes or flasks as desired. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes.
Principle And Interpretation
YT Broth is recommended for use in the cultivation of recombinant strains of Escherichia coli (1, 2, 3). It is also used in culture of E. coli strains for propagation of M 13 bacteriophages (2-4).
These media contain casein enzymic hydrolysate and yeast extract, which supply nitrogenous compounds, vitamin B complex and other essential nutrients and co-factors necessary for the luxuriant growth of recombinant E. coli and allows the bacteria to recover from the stress of transformation and grow well. Sodium chloride helps in maintaining isotonic conditions in the medium.
