Notes
Source: DSMZ | Link: https://www.dsmz.de/microorganisms/medium/pdf/DSMZ_Medium403.pdf Superseded historical provenance (not a current formulation claim): Commercial Product: LB Medium (Luria-Bertani, Miller formulation) Supplier: Multiple suppliers (Difco,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 The LB constituent expansion is withdrawn: the exact DSMZ formulation specifies bovine serum albumin instead. Source batch, stock and receiving-medium scopes are separate; chemical groundings and growth claims are not recertified. Source alternative, not an extra preparation step: Alternatively, buy supplemented or un-supplemented BSK-H medium (Fa. Bio&SELL or Sigma) and supplement the medium according to manufacturer's advice. Sterilize the mixed and warm (37°C) medium by filtration.

No ingredients recorded.

Preparation

  1. Combine the warm (37°C) solutions A, B, C, D, and filter-sterilize the warm medium. Solution B can also be added after filtration.
