Description
The Bacto™ Proteose Peptones are enzymatic digests of protein. Studies of peptic digests of
animal tissue prepared under varying digestion parameters led to the development of
Proteose Peptone, Proteose Peptone No. 2 and Proteose Peptone No. 3. Data accumulated
during these studies demonstrated that no one peptone is the most suitable nitrogen source
for every microbiological application. Bacto Proteose Peptone No. 4 is a spray-dried version of
Bacto Proteose Peptone.
