LB medium bottle and LB agar plate Plate medium agar LB. Lysogeny broth (LB) is a nutritionally rich medium primarily used for the growth of bacteria. Its creator, Giuseppe Bertani, intended LB to stand for lysogeny broth, [1] but LB has also come to colloquially mean Luria broth, Lennox broth, life broth or Luria–Bertani medium. [2]
An LB agar plate showing the result of a blue–white screen. The blue–white screen is a screening technique that allows for the rapid and convenient detection of recombinant bacteria in vector-based molecular cloning experiments.
Giuseppe Bertani (October 23, 1923–April 7, 2015) was a microbial geneticist who did work with Drosophila melanogaster, mutation rates in E. coli, and spent most of his career working with phages, specifically phage P2.
Super Optimal Broth (SOB medium) is a nutrient-rich bacterial growth medium used for microbiological culture, generally of Escherichia coli.This nutrient-rich microbial broth contains peptides, amino acids, water soluble vitamins and glucose in a low-salt formulation.
Agar dilution is one of two methods (along with broth dilution) used by researchers to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotics. It is the dilution method most frequently used to test the effectiveness of new antibiotics when a few antibiotics are tested against a large panel of different bacteria.
Negative selection through replica plating to screen for ampicillin sensitive colonies. Replica plating is a microbiological technique in which one or more secondary Petri plates containing different solid (agar-based) selective growth media (lacking nutrients or containing chemical growth inhibitors such as antibiotics) are inoculated with the same colonies of microorganisms from a primary ...
