TERRIFIC BROTH, 500g 500 grams/bottle

Terrific Broth is a medium which supports a high cell density and, in the case is formulated for optimum growth of E.coli, maintains growth in the logarithmic phase for a long time. As a result, it yields a greater number of recombinant proteins and plasmic DNA. In some circumstances it substitutes LB Broth (Lennox) (Cat. 1231) used in genetic studies. Tryptone provide nitrogen, vitamins, minerals and amino acids essential for growth Yeast extract is source of vitamins, particularly the B-group. Potassium phosphates act as a buffer system to prevent cell death. The source of carbohydrates and carbon is glycerol that is not fermented to acetic acid as glucose and does not lead to confusing results.
