LB Broth Lennox, Animal Free (Powder) (Lennox L broth base)

Catalog No: L1505-01

Soy Peptone is substituted for Tryptone. LB Lennox, a nutritionally rich medium, was developed by Lennox for the growth and maintenance of pure cultures of recombinant strains of E. coli. These strains are generally derived from E. coli K12 which are deficient in B vitamin production. This strain of E. coli has been further modified through specific mutation to create an auxotrophic strain that is not capable of growth on nutritionally deficient media.
