ISOGRO? media is required for overcoming the growth limitations of minimal media. ISOGRO products are lysates of algae grown with stable isotopes (13C, 15N, and/or D). ISOGRO?-13C powder -growth medium gives uniform labeling for protein expression NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) studies.
A typical algal lysate (ISOGRO medium) contains: 30% salts, 3% water, 2% glucose and 65% amino acids/peptides.
