AGAR: Measure 8 grams of agar per 500 ml bottle and add to each individual bottle before aliquoting the LB. Autoclave to homogenize.
Each liter of LB Agar makes 2 bottles of 500 ml. |

Notes and variations:
- Common synonyms
are Luria-Broth and Luria-Bertani medium.
- This is the "Miller" formulation of LB with 10 g NaCl per liter (1% w/v). Another common formulation has only 5 g NaCl per liter (0.5% w/v)! They are NOT interchangeable.
- If you are performing sacB counter-selection, you may need to use even lower salt concentrations.
- To make "soft" or "top" agar for phage studies, use only 7-8 g agar per liter.
