LB medium

1. weight components

• 5 g/L NaCl
• 10 g/L tryptone
• 5 g/L yeast extract
• (15 g/L agar for plates)

1. fill up to 1 L with deionized water

• mix well by shaking

1. autoclave
   1. autoclaving tape, caps slightly unscrewed
   2. base of the pot has to be covered with deionized water
   3. close lid
   4. heat level 3 until the pressure valve opens
   5. reduce heat level to 1.5
   6. set timer to 20 minutes
   7. turn heater off
   8. wait until the pressure valve retracts (30-45 minutes)
