General description

Miller′s LB is a highly-referenced microbial growth medium used for the cultivation of E. coli. This nutrient-rich microbial broth contains peptides, amino acids, water-soluble vitamins, and carbohydrates in a low-salt formulation. The addition of agar provides a solid medium for microbial growth.

Application

Suitable for selective cultivation of E. coli strains that contain plasmids conferring kanamycin resistance. The bacteria can be used for DNA plasmid production or production of recombinant proteins. LB Agar Kanamycin-50, Plates has been used in the screening of Agrobacterium tumefaciens and E.coli JM83 strain with pGD103 plasmid.
