Luria Broth is a liquid formulation used for the vegetative growth of bacterial cultures in genomic research. This Nutrient Media supports the addition of Isopropyl Beta D-1-Thiogalactopyranoside for induced metabolic activity within a professional Molecular Protein Expression Lab. Recommended for the cultivation and maintenance of recombinant strains of Escherichia coli.
Luria Broth is used for the cultivation and maintenance of recombinant strains of E. coli, originally derived from E. coli strain K12, deficient in B vitamin production. These stains are specifically mutated to create an auxotrophic strain, unable to grow on a nutritionally deficient medium.
