SOB

A rich medium for cell growth

  • 0.5% (w/v) yeast extract
  • 2% (w/v) tryptone
  • 10 mM NaCl
  • 2.5 mM KCl
  • 20 mM MgSO4

Per liter:

  • 5 g yeast extract
  • 20 g tryptone
  • 0.584 g NaCl
  • 0.186 g KCl
  • 2.4 g MgSO4
  • Some formulations of SOB use 10 mM MgCl2 and 10 mM MgSO4 instead of 20 mM MgSO4.
  • Adjust to pH 7.5 prior to use. This requires approximately 25 ml of 1M NaOH per liter.
