Peptones :Small polypeptides that are intermediate products in the hydrolysis of proteins. The term is often used for any partial hydrolysate of proteins as, e.g., bacteriological peptone, which is used as a medium for the growth of micro-organisms. Enzymatic digests of protein that provide nitrogen in a form that is readily available for bacterial growth. All Proteose Peptone products are used in preparing microbiological culture media and in producing bacterial toxins. It has been reported that Proteose Peptone as supplementation to defined medium resulted in significant increases in cell number and specific monoclonal antibody production in batch culture.
