=Protocols=
-
Luria-Bertani Medium (aka L-Broth or LB Medium).  (Bertani says LB really stands for lysogeny broth.) LB is a standard growth medium for a variety of bacteria and conditions.

''Note:'' There are two formulations of LB, Miller and Lennox, that differ in the amount of NaCl. Lennox has less salt, only 5 g/L. The Qiagen miniprep kit recommends LB with 10 g NaCl for highest plasmid yields.

===Protocol===
 
-
#Mix dry ingredients and add distilled water up to 1 Liter
 
-
#Pour into 2 L flask (or greater)
 
-
#Autoclave (liquid cycle)
 
-
#* 250°'''F''', 22psi, 30 minutes

Notes: We do not pH medium when we make it on the fly.  However, if it is really important, pH the medium to 7.0 with 5M NaOH (~200µL).  We usually obtain this from the kitchen.

==P2. Making SOB Medium==
 
-
SOB Medium.  Used in growing bacteria for preparing chemically competent cells
 
-
 
-
=== Ingredients ===
 
-
*0.5% (w/v) yeast extract
 
-
*2% (w/v) tryptone
 
-
*10 mM NaCl
 
-
*2.5 mM KCl
 
-
*20 mM MgSO<sub>4</sub>
 
-
 
-
Per liter:
 
-
*5 g yeast extract
 
-
*20 g tryptone
 
-
*0.584 g NaCl
 
-
*0.186 g KCl
 
-
*2.4 g MgSO<sub>4</sub>
 
-
 
-
''Note:'' Some formulations of SOB use 10 mM MgCl<sub>2</sub> and 10 mM MgSO<sub>4</sub> instead of 20 mM MgSO<sub>4</sub>.
 
-
 
-
SOB medium is also available dry premixed from Difco, 0443-17.
 
-
 
-
Adjust to pH 7.5 prior to use.  This requires approximately 25 ml of 1M NaOH per liter.
 
-
 
-
===15/10 medium===
 
-
Growth of competent TOP10 cells in Example 2 of the Bloom05 patent is performed in 15/10 broth, which is similar to SOB:
 
-
 
-
* 1.5% yeast extract
 
-
* 1% Bacto-Tryptone
 
-
* 10mM NaCl
 
-
* 2mM KCl
 
-
* 10 mM MgCl<sub>2</sub>
 
-
* 10 mM MgSO<sub>4</sub>

-
===Ingredients===
 
-
*[[Team:Amsterdam/Notebook/Protocols#P2. Making SOB Medium|P2. Making SOB Medium]]
 
-

-
 
-
===Protocol===
 
-
#Follow directions to make 1 liter of [[Team:Amsterdam/Notebook/Protocols#P2. Making SOB Medium|P2. Making SOB Medium]] media
 
-
#After cooling medium to less than 50&deg;C, add 20 ml filter sterilized 20% glucose solution
