LB: Luria-Broth

Combine in a 2 L flask:

15 g Tryptone
7.5 g Yeast Extract
15 g NaCl
24 g Agar
1.5 ml 5% Antifoam

Add dH2O to 1.5 L. Autoclave.

Note: This is different from "LB" = "Luria Broth" media, which has only 5 g NaCl per liter!

To make "soft" agar for phage studies, use only 7 g agar per liter.
