Key Properties
Proteose peptone (culture media ingredient) is a specialized enzymatic protein hydrolysate derived from the hydrolysis of proteins, primarily casein. It serves as a rich nutrient source in microbiological culture media, providing essential amino acids, peptides, and vitamins necessary for the growth of various microorganisms. This product is particularly valued in the cultivation of fastidious organisms, where standard nutrient sources may be insufficient. With its complex composition, proteose peptone supports the growth of bacteria, yeast, and fungi, making it a versatile ingredient in laboratory and industrial microbiology applications.
Also known as Enzymatic protein hydrolysate.

- Substance
Proteose peptone appears as a tan to brown powder, characterized by its solubility in water, which allows it to easily integrate into liquid culture media. The product has a typical pH range of 6.0 to 7.5 when dissolved in water, making it suitable for a variety of microbial growth conditions. The density of the powder is approximately 0.5 to 0.7 g/cm³, and it is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air. This property necessitates proper storage to maintain its quality and effectiveness.
