Principle and Interpretation
2 XYT Growth Agar is an optimized formulation for the the cultivation of recombinant Escherichia coli. This media is 2 times richer than the YT media. This media was originally formulated as a nutritionally enriched growth medium for growth of recombinant strains of Escherichia coli and can also be used for propagation of M13 bacteriophage (1-3). It permits larger quantity of phage production without exhausting the host. Yeast extract and tryptone provide all the required amino acids, nucleotide precursors, vitamins and other metabolites and as a result the cells grow faster in this medium. Sodium chloride provides sodium ions for transport and osmotic balance. This medium contains agar as the solidifying agent.
