LB Amp is Lysogeny Broth (LB) containing the antibiotic ampicillin. Because LB is a rich medium for growing bacteria, adding ampicillin provides a means of selecting transformants that have taken up plasmid DNA containing the bla gene, which encodes resistance to ampicillin. Consequently, only bacteria that have been successfully transformed with such a plasmid will survive in LB Amp.
