Peptone from Casein Tryptone

Enzymatic digestion (hydrolysis) of casein, the primary protein in milk, yields a complex combination known as tryptone. As a rich source of nutrients for bacterial growth, it is useful in microbiology laboratories.
One of the many free amino acids that can be found in tryptone is tryptophan, which is present in particularly high concentrations. This can be useful in cultivating bacteria that need tryptophan for specific metabolic processes. The lack of observable carbohydrates is another benefit of tryptone. This allows to use in culture media formulations where the presence of carbohydrates might interfere with specific test results.
