General description

Luria Bertani (LB) medium is one of the complex media that is widely used to grow Escherichia coli in small-scale cultures.

Application

Luria Agar Base, Miller has been used as a growth medium during plasmid amplification. It has also been used as a culture medium for strains of Penicillium sp. laika.
Luria broth/agar (LA), Miller (L1900) is a bacteria growth mixture of sodium chloride (0.5g/L); tryptone (10g/L) yeast extract (5g/L) and agar (15g/L) used to culture members of the Enterobacteriaceae family and for coliphage plaque assays.

Components

Contains: Tryptone, yeast extract, sodium chloride and agar.

Reconstitution

Recommended use at 30.5 g per liter.
