Description
Terrific Broth, Modified is a buffered enriched medium for the propagation of recombinant E. coli strains. The medium was developed by Tartoff and Hobbs. Recombinant strains have an extended growth phase in the medium. The addition of extra Tryptone and Yeast Extract in the medium allows higher plasmid yield per volume. Glycerol is used as a carbohydrate source in this formulation. Unlike glucose, glycerol is not fermented to acetic acid. Terrific Broth, Modified has a lower concentraion of Dibasic Potassium Phosphate than Terrific Broth.
