LURIA BERTANI AGAR, MILLER (MILLER LURIA BERTANI AGAR) (VEG.)

Luria Bertani Agar, Miller (Veg) is prepared by replacing casein enzymic hydrolysate with Veg hydrolysate which is free of BSE/TSE risks. It is the modification of Luria Bertani Agar formulated by Lennox for cultivation and maintenance of recombinant strains of Escherichia coli. Luria Bertani Agar (Veg), like the conventional media are slightly different with double amount of sodium chloride. The 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 which are further modified by specific mutation to create auxotrophic strains and are unable to grow on nutritionally deficient media.
