Description
General description
Casamino acids are all of the naturally occurring amino acids and particularly rich in essential amino acids. Casamino acids have undergone a nearly complete acid hydrolysis of the casein proteins until all of the nitrogen is converted to free amino acids.

Salmonella: None detected
Solubility (2%, water): Passes test
Standard plate count: ≤10000CFU/g
Total nitrogen (N): ≥8.0%
Intended for laboratory and manufacturing use only. Not for drug, food, or household use.
Application
Global Response of Phaeobacter inhibens DSM 17395 to Deletion of Its 262-kb Chromid Encoding Antibiotic Synthesis: Casamino acids were used to analyze the global response of Phaeobacter inhibens to chromid deletion, highlighting their utility in microbial physiology studies (Rabus et al., 2020) (Rabus, 2020).
Evaluating Haloarchaeal Culture Media for Ultrahigh-Molecular-Weight Polyhydroxyalkanoate Biosynthesis by Haloferax Mediterranei: This study showcases how Casamino acids optimize the culture media for Haloferax Mediterranei, enhancing polyhydroxyalkanoate production (Morita et al., 2021) (Morita, 2021).
Phenotypic Response of Wolbachia pipientis in a Cell-Free Medium: Research demonstrated Casamino acids′ critical role in supporting the growth of Wolbachia pipientis in cell-free mediums, aiding in studies of intracellular bacteria (Brelsfoard et al., 2020) (Brelsfoard, 2020).
Production and Excretion of Astaxanthin by Engineered Yarrowia lipolytica Using Plant Oil: Casamino acids were key in a novel method using Yarrowia lipolytica for astaxanthin production, highlighting their importance in biotechnological applications (Su et al., 2020) (Su, 2020).
A Ubiquitous Amino Acid Source for Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cell-Free Transcription-Translation Systems: Highlighting Casamino acids as a versatile source for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell-free systems, this study underscores their broad applicability in synthetic biology (Moore et al., 2022) (Moore, 2022).
