Dear All,

Does anyone have the recipe for making mineral salt medium ?

I have found some information but i have few question.

Mineral salt medium (MSM) had the following composition (per liter): 2  g Na2SO4, 2.7  g (NH4)2SO4, 0.5  g NH4Cl, 14.0  g KHPO4, 3.6  g NaH2PO4 ×  H2O, 1.0  g (NH4)2 citrate [49]. After sterilization(Can I autoclave ???), the MSM was supplemented with sterile solutions of 100  µg/mL thiamine hydrochloride and 2  mL/L of trace element solution that included per liter: 0.5 g CaCl2 × 2H2O, 0.18 g ZnSO4 × 7H2O, 0.1 g MnSO4 × H2O, 20.1 g Na2-EDTA, 16.7 g FeCl3 × 6H2O, 0.16 g CuSO4 × 5H2O, 0.18 g CoCl2 × 6H2O [50]. MgSO4 was added to the final concentration of 2 mM at the start of the fermentation.

What is the advantage of using mineral salt medium over Terrific broth? I am planning to use CyDisCo plasmid co-transformed with my plasmid. The protein has 4 disulfide bonds.
