- Notes
- Source: DSMZ Superseded historical provenance (not a current formulation claim): Commercial Product: LB Medium (Luria-Bertani, Miller formulation) Supplier: Multiple suppliers (Difco, Sigma, etc.) Catalog: Multiple (L3522 Sigma, 244520 BD) Source: https://www.laboratorynotes.com/preparation-of-luria-bertani-lb-miller-broth/ Accessed: 2026-03-28 Constituent composition researched from product specification. The false LB constituent expansion is withdrawn in favor of this source's bovine serum albumin input. Existing unrelated chemical annotations are preserved, not recertified. This repair does not assert equivalence with other BSK formulations or add organism-growth evidence.

Preparation
- Combine the recipe ingredients. The source specifies a final medium volume of 100 ml, using deionized water as makeup; no separate makeup-versus-titration order is asserted.
- Adjust to pH 7.3 with 1 M NaOH.
- Filter-sterilize; the source specifies no filter pore size.
Solutions
NaOH solution (1 M)
| Ingredient | Concentration | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| NaOH | 1 MOLAR |
Titrate to final pH 7.3. The 1 M value is titrant stock strength; no fixed dose or final-medium NaOH concentration is specified.
Target organisms
No target organisms are recorded.
