Skim Milk is sometimes used as a complete medium or as an ingredient in other media used for propagation of organisms occurring in milk products like Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Corynebacterium diphtheriae etc. Proteolytic bacteria hydrolyze casein to form soluble nitrogenous compounds indicated as clear zone surrounding the colonies on Agar media and shows separation of solids in liquid media.
