General description
S-Gal® (sodium salt) is an autoclavable, water-soluble, chromogenic substrate for β-galactosidase, used to determine the presence or absence of a cloned DNA insert in bacteria growing on agar plates. S-gal® is designed to replace X-Gal in blue-white selection of recombinant bacterial colonies with the lac+ phenotype.
Application
S-Galナトリウム塩は、特許取得済みのオートクレーブ処理可能な水溶性β-ガラクトシダーゼ発色基質であり、lac+表現型の組換え細菌コロニーを青色-白色選択する際のX-Galの代替として設計されています。
Biochem/physiol Actions
When S-Gal® is cleaved by β-galactosidase, the resulting product will chelate ferric ion to create a black, insoluble precipitate. Lac+ colonies grown in the presence of S-Gal® and ferric ion turn an intense black color, allowing for easy differentiation between lac+ and lac- colonies.
Features and Benefits
S-Galがβ-ガラクトシダーゼによって切断されると、生成物が第二鉄イオンをキレート化し、黒色の不溶性沈殿物が生じます。S-Galと第二鉄イオンの存在下で増殖したlac+コロニーは、濃い黒色を呈するため、lac+コロニーとlac-コロニーを容易に区別できます。S-Galナトリウム塩は水溶性であり、ジメチルホルムアミドなどの溶媒が不要です。S-Galはオートクレーブ処理も可能であり、オートクレーブ前に選択した培地に添加することができます。S-Galは光感受性ではないため、遮光する必要はありません。
- More intense color contrast than X-gal
- Water-soluble and autoclavable for easiest use
- Excellent for use in automated colony counters
- No need to make stock solutions
Preparation Note
オートクレーブ前にS-Galを培地1 L当たり 300 mgという推奨濃度で寒天培地に添加し、同時にクエン酸鉄アンモニウム(F5879)500 mg/Lを加えます。S-Galのストック溶液は、50 mg/mLで脱イオン水に溶解した後滅菌濾過を行って調製し、-20°Cで保存してください。
Stock solutions of S-Gal® (sodium salt) can be made by dissolving 50mg/ml in water, dimethyl formamide (DMF) or DMSO. Filter sterilize and store at -20C. Add S-gal® (300 mg/L from stock solution or powder) and Ferric Ammonium Citrate (500mg/L) to agar media prior to autoclaving.
Other Notes

水溶性用, >50mg/mLで溶解。
The ferric or Fe3+ ion is required for color development and must be added to any S-Gal®
formulation. A medium prepared with S-Gal® is moderately dark due to the presence of ferric ammonium citrate. This darker background often provides enhanced contrast for automated colony counting or isolation.

Disclaimer
鉄イオン存在下で黒色の呈色が起こります。クエン酸鉄アンモニウム(培地1L当たり500mg)を推奨いたしますが、この要件を満たす上では、お使いの系に応じてその他の第二鉄化合物を使用することも可能です。

Genes with male- and testis-enriched expression are under-represented on the Drosophila melanogaster X chromosome. There is also an excess of retrotransposed genes, many of which are expressed in testis, that have "escaped" the X chromosome and moved to the autosomes.

Reporter genes and associated enzyme activity are becoming increasingly significant for research in vivo. The lacZ gene and beta-galactosidase (beta-gal) expression have long been exploited as reporters of biologic manipulation at the molecular level, and a noninvasive detection strategy based
