Storage

EZ Rich Defined Medium Kit minus Methionine is a MOPS‑buffered, chemically defined rich medium lacking methionine for the cultivation of E. coli and other bacteria under controlled nutrient conditions. The methionine omission enables cultivation of methionine auxotrophs and supports workflows requiring defined sulfur amino acid control, such as isotope labeling or selective supplementation.

The kit provides concentrated components that reconstitute to the final medium upon dilution with water, supplying buffering capacity, essential salts, nucleotide precursors, vitamins, amino acids excluding methionine, and glucose as the carbon source. Prepared medium is suitable for liquid culture or, with the addition of a gelling agent, for solid media applications as required by the experimental design.

  • 10X MOPS Modified Rich Buffer (500mL)
  • 0.132M Potassium Phosphate Dibasic Solution (50mL)
  • 10X ACGU Solution (500mL)
  • 5X Supplement EZ minus Methionine (1000mL)
  • 20% Cerelose Anhydrous Dextrose (Glucose) (100mL)
  • Recombinant Protein Expression in Escherichia coli: Defined, glucose-based medium supports reproducible, high-density cultures for controlled protein production.

  • Methionine Auxotroph Selection/Complementation: Methionine dropout enables selection and characterization of met gene mutants and complementing constructs.

  • Selenomethionine or Methionine-Analog Labeling: Forced incorporation of SeMet or AHA for X-ray crystallography phasing and bioorthogonal proteomics.

  • Stable Isotope Labeling: Enables addition of 13C/15N-methionine post-dropout for MS/NMR-based quantitative proteomics.

  • Metabolic and Sulfur Pathway Studies: Dissects methionine biosynthesis, sulfur assimilation, and transporter function under defined conditions.

  • Growth Curves and Physiology in Defined Media: Low-variability MOPS/phosphate-buffered formulation supports precise growth rate and gene expression analyses.

  • Antibiotic Selection with Plasmid Maintenance: Consistent background for selection markers during culture of engineered Escherichia coli.

  • Proteomics Sample Prep Cultures: Defined composition minimizes undefined peptides, improving downstream LC-MS analyses.

  • Cell-Free Expression Lysate Production: Produces reproducible Escherichia coli biomass for high-activity extracts.

  • Compound and Toxicity Screening: Controlled nutrient and pH environment reduces confounders in antimicrobial and growth-inhibition assays.
