Gamborg B-5 Basal Medium
Product ID: G398

Introduction

Description: Contains the macro- and micronutrients, and vitamins as described by Gamborg, et al. (1968).
This medium was developed for the initiation and growth of soybean cell suspensions. This medium contains no Ammonium Nitrate; it does contain Ammonium Sulfate and increased levels of Potassium Nitrate. Concentrations of NH4+ over 2 mM inhibited cell growth.
