General description

Peptone from casein is widely used in industrial microbiology as a nutrient source for the growth of microorganisms in large-scale fermentation processes. Peptone from casein, also known as tryptone or peptic casein peptone, is a water-soluble protein hydrolysate obtained from the digestion of casein and used as a nutrient source in microbial culture media. It provides a wide range of nutrients, including amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and peptides, which support the growth of diverse microorganisms. It is particularly useful for the cultivation of fastidious and heterotrophic microbes that require complex nutrient sources.

Application

Peptone from casein is commonly used as an ingredient in many microbial culture media for the growth and identification of bacteria, yeasts, and molds from various pharmaceutical, environmental, and food and beverage samples.
