General description
Studying microbial species via cutting edge genomic techniques such as next generation sequencing (NGS) has become increasingly prevalent in recent years; however, genomic methods alone cannot fully replace experimental testing of microbial species. Therefore, the ability to culture microbes in a laboratory setting remains essential for comprehensive study of these communities. Some microbial species can be challenging to culture in standard culture media. Often species of interest or a specific process require specialized media compositions, to provide an optimal environment for maximal proliferation and yield. A few examples includes
- Chemically defined minimal growth media are often used to grow bacteria for proteomics, as a base for stable isotope enrichment in NMR protein structure-function studies, but growth can be limited without the addition of an effective supplement.
- Use of chemically defined minimal growth media in the production of secreted microbial proteins to ensure reproducibility and a higher concentration of the microbial-produced protein of interest.
Application
MediaBoost provides microbial researchers a ready-to-use media supplement to amplify growth in selected gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria, and yeast species. Application data is available for some of the strains and media combinations that have been tested with MediaBoost, including:
Please note strains and media combinations and should be tested on a case-by-case basis by the researcher for experiment optimization.
- Bacillus subtilis spores in LB medium
- Lactobacillus rhamnosus in LB medium
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa in M9 medium
- Saccharomyces cerevisiae in YPD, BM2, and IMDM media
Please note strains and media combinations and should be tested on a case-by-case basis by the researcher for experiment optimization.

A pure bacterial culture remains essential for the study of its virulence, its antibiotic susceptibility, and its genome sequence in order to facilitate the understanding and treatment of caused diseases. The first culture conditions empirically varied incubation time, nutrients, atmosphere

Despite the surge of microbial genome data, experimental testing is important to confirm inferences about the cell biology, ecological roles and evolution of microorganisms. As the majority of archaeal and bacterial diversity remains uncultured and poorly characterized, culturing is a

Microbiology has been largely developed thanks to the discovery and optimization of culture media. The first liquid artificial culture medium was created by Louis Pasteur in 1860. Previously, bacterial growth on daily materials such as some foods had been observed.
