Cation-Adjusted Mueller Hintion Autoclaving

01 January 1970 0 4K Report

The instructions say to autoclave to 121C for 10 minutes and not to overheat. Does that mean if you autoclave for 20 or 30 minutes, it would compromise the integrity of the media, specifically the cations?

Antibiotic resistance using L Broth vs MHII Broth

Is there any difference if you do it with L broth vs MHII broth? I know MHII has starch, which neutralizes toxins and has better diffusion on agar, but what if you use L broth instead?
