Directions :
Suspend 228.35 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Mix well and dispense as desired.
Principle and Interpretation :
EMM Growth Medium with Sorbitol is a minimal defined media for the growth of Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Yeasts are unicellular eukaryotes and extensively studied model organism in molecular genetics. The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is a model eukaryote which is very useful in studies of cell cycle and chromosome dynamics. These cells maintain their shape by growing through the cell tips and divide by medial fission to produce two daughter cells of equal sizes that makes them a powerful tool in cell cycle research. It was first developed as an experimental model in the 1950's for studying genetics (1, 2) and for studying the cell cycle (3, 4). EMM (Edinburgh Minimal Media) Growth Medium with Sorbitol is used for the maintenance and propagation of S. pombe in various molecular microbiology procedures. It functions as a minimal defined medium for fission yeast growth and it contains sorbitol, minerals and trace elements.
