For growth of Escherichia coli K12 strains used in preparation of phage and plasmid DNA according to Miller.


Intended Use

Recommended for growth of Escherichia coli K12 strains used in preparation of phage and plasmid DNA according to Miller.

Composition

Ingredients Gms / Litre
Tryptone 8.000
Yeast extract 5.000
Sodium chloride 5.000
Agar 10.000

Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters

Directions

Each capsule contains 7 gms of medium. Suspend 1 capsule in 250 ml (4 capsules in 1000 ml) distilled or purified water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Cool to 45-50°C. Mix well and pour into sterile Petri plates or dispense as desired.

Principle And Interpretation

YT Agar is used for the growth of Escherichia coli K12 strain used in preparation of phase and plasmid DNA according to Miller (1).

Tryptone and yeast extract provides sources of nitrogen and growth factors which allow the bacteria to recover from the stress of transformation and grow well. Sodium chloride provide essential ion.

Type of specimen

Isolated Recombinant strain of Escherichia coli

Specimen Collection and Handling

After use, contaminated materials must be sterilized by autoclaving before discarding.

Warning and Precautions

Read the label before opening the container. Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. Follow good microbiological lab practices while handling specimens and culture. Standard precautions as per established guidelines should be followed while handling specimens. Safety guidelines may be referred in individual safety data sheets.

Limitations

  • This medium is general purpose medium and may not support the growth of fastidious organisms.

Storage and Shelf Life

Store between 10-30°C in a tightly closed container and the prepared medium at 20-30°C. Use before expiry date on the label. On opening, product should be properly stored dry, after tightly capping the bottle in order to prevent lump formation due to the hygroscopic nature of the product. Improper storage of the product may lead to lump formation. Store in dry ventilated area protected from extremes of temperature and sources of ignition. Seal the container tightly after use. Product performance is best if used within stated expiry period.

Disposal

User must ensure safe disposal by autoclaving and/or incineration of used or unusable preparations of this product. Follow established laboratory procedures in disposing of infectious materials and material that comes into contact with sample must be decontaminated and disposed of in accordance with current laboratory techniques (2,3).
