Description
Contains the nutrients as described by Bertani (1951), and Luria & Burrows (1955). Formulation modified by Lennox L (1955).
Compared to the LB Miller Modification, the Lennox Modification of LB is considered the low salt version, containing only 5 g/L of sodium chloride, while the Miller Modification contains 10 g/L sodium chloride. This low salt modification of LB is useful when working with salt-sensitive microbes or salt-sensitive antibiotics.
This rich medium supports the rapid growth of Escherichia coli for molecular biology applications, as well as other microbes during general culture maintenance.
