Description
Bacto™ Proteose Peptone may be used in culture medium for a variety of applications,
including production of substances from the culture of bacteria, fungi and mammalian cells.
Proteose Peptone has been utilized in a medium for producing glycosidases from Bacteroides
fragilis,8 and to stimulate amyloglucosidase production by Aspergillus sp.9 It has been used to
cultivate halophilic bacteria isolated from soil in Egypt for production of polymers.10 Jan et al.11
reported that Proteose Peptone as supplementation to defined medium resulted in significant
increases in cell number and specific monoclonal antibody production in batch culture system.
Proteose Peptone has also been used to provide nutrients for axenic culture of amoeba
