I am making NZY+ broth for a transformation protocol using XL10-gold ultracompetent cells.
My question is: in the recipe, is casamino acids a suitable substitute for NZ amine (casein hydrolysate)? I believe they are considered the same thing, but wanted to get a confirmation.
Thank you.

casein hydrolysate is nothing more then the milk protein casein that is hydrolysed... so yeah Casamino acids , wich are nothing more then the acids obtained from hydrlosysis of casien is ok. (do keep in mind it does not have tryptophan..)

If you don't know it, then ask it! Better to ask and look foolish to some then not ask and stay stupid.
