Description
General description
GranuCult® plus LB agar (MILLER) formulation supports the growth of E. coli. Casein peptone and yeast extracts supply essential growth factors, such as nitrogen, carbon, sulfur, minerals, and vitamins. Sodium chloride is a source of essential electrolytes and maintains osmotic equilibrium. Agar is a solidifying agent.
Application
GranuCult® plus LB agar (MILLER) is suitable for the cultivation of E. coli in fermentation and molecular genetic studies.
