Bacteriological Peptone Powder
Bacteriological Peptone Powder
General-Purpose Nitrogen Source for Microbiological Media
Catalog Number: AS-1011
Overview
Bacteriological Peptone Powder is a high-quality enzymatic digest of protein used as a general-purpose nitrogen source in microbiological culture media. It provides a balanced mixture of peptides, amino acids, and growth-promoting factors required for the cultivation of a wide range of microorganisms.
This peptone is especially suitable for the growth of fastidious bacteria, as well as yeasts and moulds, and is widely used in routine microbiology, vaccine production, and industrial fermentation. Its consistent composition and excellent solubility make it a core ingredient in many standard and compendial media formulations.
Ausamics Bacteriological Peptone Powder is manufactured to ensure reliable microbial growth, batch-to-batch consistency, and reproducible performance.
