Source: KOMODO ModelSEED | ID: 751 | DSMZ Medium: 751 (mediadive.medium:751) | Aerobic: No Superseded historical provenance (not a current formulation claim): Commercial Product: LB Medium (Luria-Bertani, Miller formulation) Supplier: Multiple suppliers (Difco,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 The LB constituent expansion is withdrawn: the exact DSMZ formulation specifies bovine serum albumin instead.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.

5 MgSO4 x 7 H2O
7H2O.Mg.O4S 246.473 g/mol
CHEBI:31795
magnesium sulfate heptahydrate
Source batch input: 0.2 g. Final-medium volume is not established; withdraw the unsupported final g/L assertion without replacing it with an assumed one-liter value.
6 Distilled water 1 L Source water batch input: 1000 ml / 1000 = 1 L in this preparation only, not a measured final volume.

Preparation

  1. Adjust the basal medium to pH 6.6 before autoclaving.
  2. Autoclave the basal medium, including the hemin input; the source gives no fixed cycle temperature or duration.
  3. Cool to 50 C, then add the separately filter-sterilized albumin, glucose and cysteine stocks.

Solutions

Hemin stock

Dose: 0.015 L
