Culture of bacteria, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli), requires specific formulations of growth media for use in cloning, plasmid DNA preparation, and protein expression. We offer a selection of bacterial growth media for your specific application.
Choose your type of bacterial growth media
Gibco Bacto CD Supreme Fermentation Production Medium (FPM) | Chemically defined dry powder medium designed specifically for fermentation applications to support high-cell-density cultures of E. coli strains |
LB Broth and LB Agar | Most referenced bacterial media for growth and maintenance of recombinant E. coli strains |
Terrific Broth | Nutritionally rich bacterial media for higher density growth and maintenance of recombinant E. coli strains |
M9 Minimal | Commonly used bacterial media for cultivation and maintenance of E. coli strains. |
MagicMedia Medium | Customized bacterial media for growth of T7-regulated E. coli strains for auto induction of protein expression |
ImMedia Medium | Pre-mixed, pre-sterilized bacterial media containing selection antibiotics for growth of E. coli strains |
Other Media | Microbial media for outgrowth of transformed E. coli cells (S.O.C. Medium), solid microbial media (Invitrogen™ Select Agar™), and growth of hosts for replication of M13 vectors (2-YT Broth) |
