General description

2xYT is a standard microbial growth medium used for the cultivation of E. coli and M13 bacteriophage. This nutrient-rich microbial broth contains peptides, amino acids, and water-soluble vitamins in a low-salt formulation.

Application

Suitable for non-selective cultivation of M13 bacteriophage, and E. coli strains for cloning, DNA plasmid production and production of recombinant proteins. Also suitable for selective cultivation when appropriate antibiotics are added.

Features and Benefits

2xYT EZMix® powder provides:
  • Granulated, dust-free format for safer handling and faster mixing
  • Easy scale-up using larger package size
  • Standard formulation

Reconstitution

Stir to suspend 31.6 g powder in 1L water. Autoclave for 15 minutes at 121°C to sterilize. Allow to cool before making additions, such as antibiotics (if desired).

Dynamic trafficking of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) out of cilia is mediated by the BBSome. In concert with its membrane recruitment factor, the small GTPase ARL6/BBS3, the BBSome ferries GPCRs across the transition zone, a diffusion barrier at the base
