General Description

• LB Broth is composed of tryptone (pancreatic digest of casein), sodium chloride, and yeast extract. The tryptone provides nitrogen, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids essential for the growth of these strains. Yeast extract is a source of vitamins, particularly the B-group. The sodium chloride supplies essential electrolytes for transport and osmotic balance

Application

• LB Broth (Lennox) is a rich growth medium that contains all the nutritional requirements for the growth and maintenance of a pure culture of recombinant Escherichia coli strains to allow for plasmid purification and/or protein expression
• LB Broth (Lennox) is used for resuspension of T. pyriformis cell fractions in a study to perform the fractionation of cellular extracts
