Generally amino acids are added at about 10 ug/ml for growth of E.
coli. There are many different minimal media's, depending upon what you
are trying to do. A good starting place is Jeffrey Miller's book
Experiments in Molecular Genetics from Cold Spring Harbor (1972) or his
update of that A Short Course in Bacterial Genetics also from Cold
Spring Harbor. But you can probably find recipes in virtually any
handbook on molecular biology.
