Bacterial Growth Media | Thermo Fisher Scientific

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)
