PEPTONE-R (Bacteriological Grade)

Peptone–R is used in culture media for the cultivation of a variety of bacteria and fungi and used for the commercial production of enzymes, antibiotics, and other products. It is an enzymatic digest of animal protein and used as an organic nitrogen source in microbiological culture media. Peptone contains nitrogen in a form that is readily available for bacterial growth. Peptone has a high peptone and amino acid content, with only a negligible quantity of proteoses and more complex nitrogenous constituents. Being highly nutritious, it supports good growth of a wide variety of microorganisms and can be used for the identification of bacteria by performing various biochemical tests. It is also used as a supplement in cell culture with serum.
