M63 Medium

Description

M63 Medium is a defined minimal medium widely used for the cultivation and physiological studies of Escherichia coli. This medium provides essential inorganic salts to support bacterial growth while allowing precise control over carbon and energy sources. Glycerol or glucose may be supplemented as the primary carbon source, supporting cellular metabolism and energy production.

The formulation supplies key nutrients including nitrogen, phosphorus, and trace elements required for bacterial growth. Magnesium sulfate is included to provide magnesium ions, which are critical cofactors for numerous enzymatic reactions, including those involved in DNA replication. Due to its defined composition, M63 Medium is particularly suitable for metabolic studies, genetic experiments, and controlled growth condition analyses.
