BACGro Tryptic Soy Broth, Unbagged Jar / 100ml

LB Broth, Miller, is used for the growth and maintenance of recombinant strains of E. coli. These strains of E. coli cannot produce Vitamin B, and therefore will not grow in nutrient deficient media. LB Broth, Miller provides the nutrients required for growth of E. coli and contains twice the sodium chloride in LB Broth, Lennox, which allows the user to select a medium with the most optimal salt concentration. Casein peptone supplies nitrogen, amino acids, and the carbon required for bacterial growth. Sodium chloride maintains osmotic balance. Yeast Extract is a source of vitamins and amino acids.
