Reagents | Final Concentration | Amount |
---|---|---|
Tryptone | 40 mM | 10 g |
Yeast extract | 15.6 mM | 5 g |
NaCl | 170 mM | 10 g |
Agar (for solid medium only) | 60 mM | 20 g |

Aliquot 300 mL in 500 mL bottles.
Autoclave (121°C for 20 min) and store at 22°C–25°C for several months.
For preparing LB agar plates follow standard procedures. Briefly, after autoclave (or melting in a microwave) allow the solution to cool down ~50°C. Add antibiotic(s) and swirl to mix. Pour ~20 mL per 10 cm Petri dish. Plates can be stored at 4°C for 1 month.
