Question

How minimal media is used for recombinant isolation?

Answer 1

Answer:

Minimal media – Media that contains the minimum nutrients possible for colony growth, generally without the presence of amino acids, and are often used by microbiologists and geneticists to grow “wild type” microorganisms. These media can also be used to select for or against the growth of specific microbes. Usually a fair amount of information must be known about the microbe to determine its minimal media requirements.
