Luria Bertani (LB) Broth

Nutritionally rich media used for maintaining and cultivating recombinant strains of Escherichia coli in molecular microbiology procedures. The media provide all nutritional requirements for organisms derived from Escherichia coli K12, which are deficient in B vitamin production. Escherichia coli grows more rapidly than in conventional media as the formulation provide the cells with amino acids, nucleotide precursors, vitamins and other metabolites that microorganism would otherwise have to synthesize.
