TRYPTOSE (Enzymatic Hydrolysate of Protein that Replace Meat Infusion)

Tryptose is very useful for cultivation of streptococci, pneumococci, meningococci and other fastidious organisms, and was found to be superior to meat infusion peptone media previously used for these organisms. It has been reported as beneficial for cell culture applications. Tryptose to be suitable for supplementing a serum-free medium to grow human diploid fibroblasts. Tryptose provided free amino acids necessary for growth of Spodoptera frugiperda and Lymantria dispar insect cell lines. Tryptose is often used as a biomass enhancer for recombinant E. coli production.

An enzymatic hydrolysate of protein that can replace meat infusion used in the preparation of culture media for the cultivation of fastidious organisms and for cell culture applications.
