Principle And Interpretation

Luria Bertani Broth, Miller (1) is slightly different with double amount of sodium chloride as compared to original media described by Lennox (2) for cultivation and maintenance of recombinant strains of Escherichia coli The media is nutritionally rich for the growth of pure cultures of recombinant strains. Strains derived from Escherichia coli K12 are deficient in Vitamin B synthesis which are further modified by specific mutation to create auxotrophic strains and are therefore unable to grow on nutritionally deficient media. Casein enzymic hydrolysate provides peptides and peptones while Vitamin B complex is provided by yeast extract. Sodium chloride provides sodium ions for membrane transport and also maintains the osmotic equilibrium of the medium.
