Directions for use


Guidelines for use :
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) 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.

Preparation :
Suspend 50.8 grams of the medium in 900 ml of distilled water .Mix well.
Add 4 ml of glycerol and adjust to a final volume of 1000 ml. and dissolve by heating with frequent agitation.
Boil for one minute until complete dissolution.
Dispense into appropriate containers and sterilize in autoclave at 121°C for 15 minutes.
The prepared medium should be stored at 2-8°C.
The color of the prepared medium is amber.
The dehydrated medium should be homogeneous, free-flowing and beige in color.
If there are any physical changes, discard the medium.
