LURIA BERTANI AGAR, MODIFIED

Luria Bertani Agar, Modified is prepared as described by Lennox for cultivation and maintenance of recombinant strains of Escherichia coli. The medium is nutritionally rich for the growth of pure cultures of recombinant strains. Strains generally derived from Escherichia coli K12 are deficient in Vitamin B synthesis which are further modified by specific mutation to create auxotrophic strains and are unable to grow on nutritionally deficient media.

for the cultivation and maintenance of recombinant strains of Escherichia coli and may be used for routine cultivation of not particularly fastidious microorganisms
