SOYATONE – R (Soya Peptone – R)

Soyatone, also known as soya peptone, is a plant-based peptone, high in carbohydrates and nitrogen. Soyatone is a common ingredient in culture media, especially for growing fastidious organisms. It is also used to promote growth in media like tryptic soy broth and agar. Due to the rich nutritional properties, Soyatone is added to media as an accelerator to increase the yield of organisms and is recommended where a rapid and luxuriant growth of microorganisms is required. It is one of the components of the commonly used soy broth and agar for the growth of recombinant Escherichia coli. It is widely used as a supplement for microbiological culture media.

It is used for cultivation of fastidious and non-fastidious bacteria and fungi.
