Yeast extract 5.00
Sodium chloride 8.00

Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters

Directions

Suspend 23 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Dispense as desired and sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes.

Principle and Interpretation

NZY (Harvard) Growth Medium is used for cultivation of recombinant Escherichia coli strains. This medium was developed by Blattner and colleagues as a rich medium for the propagation of bacteriophages which infects its cell host, E. coli for replication (1). Cells grow very fast in this medium as this medium provides all the amino acids, vitamins and other metabolites required for cell growth (2). Casein enzymic hydrolysate provides nitrogen, amino acids, and carbon sources for the cells. Yeast extract functions as the source of vitamins and trace elements. Sodium chloride provides sodium ions for transport and osmotic balance (3). NZY (Harvard) Growth Medium allows the cells to grow more rapidly as they do have to synthesize nucleotide precursors and other factors required for growth.
