Luria Bertani broth (LB Broth) is a nutrient broth primarily used for the growth and maintenance of Escherichia coli. Used as the primary propagation step for donor or recipient cells, when further work is to be performed on LB Agar. -
This is a selective medium for the isolation of yeasts and fungi and is particularly suitable for use in sterility testing. The low pH (5.6) of the medium is inhibitory to most bacteria and many diagnostic features such as spores and pigmentation are well developed on this medium. The formulation of this medium conforms to the requirements of the Harmonized USP/EP/JP.
