Luria Bertani HiVeg™ Broth, Miller (Miller Luria Bertani HiVeg™ Broth)
Intended Use
Luria Bertani HiVeg Broth, Miller is used for cultivation and maintenance of recombinant strains of Escherichia coli and may be used for routine cultivation of not particularly fastidious microorganisms.
Composition
| Ingredients | Gms / Litre |
|---|---|
| HiVeg hydrolysate | 10.000 |
| Yeast extract | 5.000 |
| Sodium chloride | 10.000 |
| Final pH (at 25°C) | 7.5±0.2 |
Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters.
Directions
Suspend 25 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat, if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Dispense as desired.
Principle and Interpretation
Luria Bertani HiVeg Broth, Miller is prepared by replacing casein enzymic hydrolysate with HiVeg hydrolysate which is free of BSE/TSE risks. Luria Bertani HiVeg Broth, Miller (1) is slightly different with double amount of sodium chloride as compared to original media described by Lennox (2). This medium is nutritionally rich for the growth of pure cultures of recombinant strains. Strains which are generally derived from Escherichia coli K12 are deficient in Vitamin B synthesis and are unable to grow on nutritionally deficient media. HiVeg hydrolysate provides nitrogen and carbon while Vitamin B complex is provided by yeast extract. Sodium chloride provides sodium ions for the membrane transport and maintains osmotic equilibrium of the medium.
