General description

Terrific Broth is a highly-referenced microbial growth medium used for the cultivation of E. coli. This nutrient-rich microbial broth contains glycerol, peptides, amino acids, water-soluble vitamins, and carbohydrates.

Application

Terrific Broth has been used for non-selective cultivation of E. coli strains for cloning, high-yield DNA plasmid production, and high-yield production of recombinant proteins. citation It is also suitable for selective cultivation when appropriate antibiotics are added.

Features and Benefits

Terrific Broth liquid provides:
  • Filter-sterilized, ready-to-use format
  • Convenient package size
  • Standard formulation

  2. Which bacterial culture medium is the best choice for my application?

    1 answer
    1. Each of the broths will likely grow E. coli very well, but there are still general guidelines for choosing a broth when you are working without a protocol. Generally:LB - Miller and LB - Lennox are used for E. coli growth and maintanence, DNA plasmid production and protein production.  The Lennox formulation has a lower salt content required for some salt-sensitive selection antibiotics.LB - Luria low salt is used for special applications where the E. coli growth or other constraints require the lowest possible salt content.Terrific Broth is used for higher yield protein production and high yield DNA plasmid production, because of the faster growth of the E. coli in this medium.SOB is used for protein production, DNA plasmid production and the generation of high-efficiency competent cells.SOC is used for initial growth of competent cells and the transformation procedure.
