Proteose Peptone is prepared from peptic digest of animal tissue. It is abundant in proteoses, peptones and free amino acids. It is a highly nutritious ingredient employed in media. Proteose peptone is added in culture media which is used for bulk production of antibiotics, enzymes, veterinary preparations and bacterial toxins. It is also used in synthetic media in acclimatization of microorganisms in bioreactor studies. Proteose peptone is used as a lyoprotectant in preparation of freeze-dried cultures of Campylobacter jejuni. This culture is widely used in the food and microbiological industry for reference materials. It finds widespread use in the culture of bacteria with high nutritional requirements.
