General description

Gamborg′ B-5 medium described by Gamborg, et al. may be purchased as a complete medium (G5893) or reconstituted from Vitamin 1000x (G1019) and Basal Salt Mixture (G5768) chemstocks. Use Gamborg′s B-5 (B5) medium for in vitro plant culture of cell lines and tissues such as of Taxus globosa, Splachnum ampullaceum Hedw, Linum album, Eucalyptus camaldulensis.

Application

Gamborg′s B-5 Basal Salt Mixture has been used:
  • as a constituent during the preparation of TEX buffer
  • as a media to maintain potato suspension and callus cultures
  • as a media in the primary-node transformation method

Gamborg′s B-5 medium has been used for the culture of Annona squamosa callus.

Formula variant

With the concentrations of macro- and micronutrients as described by Gamborg, et al. (1968).
