Common Applications
Storage

LB agar with gentamicin, kanamycin, tetracycline, X‑Gal, and IPTG is a nutritionally balanced medium for cultivating and selecting antibiotic‑resistant E. coli strains carrying compatible resistance markers.

X‑Gal in combination with IPTG enables blue‑white screening via lacZ α‑complementation, allowing visual differentiation of recombinant and non‑recombinant colonies in appropriate E. coli hosts.

  • 1.0% Tryptone
  • 0.5% Yeast Extract
  • 1.0% Sodium Chloride
  • 1.5% Agar
  • 50µg/mL Kanamycin Sulfate
  • 7µg/mL Gentamicin Sulfate
  • 10µg/mL Tetracycline Hydrochloride
  • 60µg/mL X-Gal
  • 0.1mM Isopropyl-B-D-thiogalactopyranoside(IPTG)
  • Blue-White Screening in Escherichia coli: X-Gal and IPTG enable lacZ α-complementation for rapid identification of recombinant colonies.

  • Triple Antibiotic Selection: Simultaneous selection for kanamycin (50 µg/mL), gentamicin (7 µg/mL), and tetracycline (10 µg/mL) resistance markers.

  • Co-transformation and Multi-plasmid Maintenance: Supports growth of Escherichia coli strains harboring multiple plasmids with distinct resistance cassettes.

  • Clone Screening after Ligation/Gibson/Golden Gate: Efficient identification and picking of correct transformants using colorimetric and antibiotic selection.

  • Library Screening and Directed Evolution: Differentiation of variants via blue-white screening under combined antibiotic pressure.

  • Strain Validation and Stability Testing: Confirms retention of multiple resistance markers across passages in Escherichia coli.

  • Replica Plating: Parallel analysis of colony phenotypes and plasmid combinations on selective media.

  • Plasmid Maintenance for Expression Workflows: Ensures stable propagation of helper, expression, and accessory plasmids in Escherichia coli.

  • Screening of Complementation Constructs: Uses IPTG induction to assess lac-based reporters and regulatory elements in Escherichia coli.

  • Contamination Control: Suppresses growth of non-resistant background bacteria via triple antibiotic selection.
