Uses
Casein peptone is used in nutrient media for growing bacteria and fungi. It is employed in antibiotics and enzyme productions. It is also essential for analytical microbiology and industrial fermentation process. It is also used in bacterial diagnostics and in agro-food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical fermentation for production of biomass.
Uses
Tryptone-yeast extract-glucose medium may be used in response surface methodology in order to find optimimum conditions for the growth of
Lactobacillus casei YIT 9018. It was also used in the media used in the growth experiments with
Escherichia coli MG165, conducted in order to monitor the bacteria for long term which underwent programmed population control, in a microchemostat, in an approach to prevent biofilm formation. Tryptone glucose extract agar (TGEA) along with gypsum board may also be used to cultivate
Streptomyces albidoflavui in order to produce volatile metabolites. Tryptone may also be used in STGG (skim milk, tryptone, glucose, glycerol) medium at -80°C, which is used to preserve
Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis isolates for atleast 3 years.
General Description
Peptone from casein, pancreatic digest is a high quality source of amino acids and peptides produced by the enzymatic digestion of casein. It is recommended for laboratory media and fermentations and has been used in antibiotics, toxins and enzyme productions.
