This medium does not contain any inhibitors or indicators and it is relatively rich in its nutrients. The added skimmed milk is also free from inhibitory substances. The enzymatic digest of casein (tryptone) is a nitrogen source containing a high level of free amino acids and yeast extract supplies B-complex vitamins. Glucose provides an energy source for the growth of bacteria
