Directions
Suspend 35.98 grams of MV1248 or 21 grams of MV1247 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.
Principle and Interpretation
This medium is prepared by replacing Casein enzymic hydrolysate with HiVeg hydrolysate that makes the medium free of BSE/TSE risks. Casein Yeast Magnesium HiVeg Agar/Broth is a modification of the formula described by Blattner et al (1, 2) used for cultivating recombinant strains of Escherichia coli.
Media constituents like HiVeg hydrolysate and yeast extract supply essential nutrients and cofactors required for excellent growth of recombinant strains of Escherichia coli. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic balance of the media. Magnesium sulphate is incorporated as a source of magnesium ion necessary in a variety of enzymatic reactions including DNA replication. Agar acts as a solidifying agent and provides substratum for growth of Escherichia coli colonies.
