Description
Description: Oxoid™ Peptone Bacteriological No. 2 is an all-purpose nutrient powder used in microbiology labs to grow bacteria. It’s made by enzymatically digesting animal proteins (usually beef), creating a mix of peptides and amino acids that bacteria need to thrive. When dissolved in water, it forms a clear solution that serves as a base for culture media.
Benefits
- Highly nutritious: Provides essential nitrogen and peptides for bacterial growth.
- Versatile: Suitable for routine, diagnostic, and research bacteriology.
- Compatible: Works well with other refined culture media and fermentation ingredients.
- Consistent quality: Manufactured under strict standards for reliable results.
Applications
- Culture media preparation: Used in making nutrient broths and agar for bacterial growth.
- Fermentation processes: Supports microbial growth in industrial and research fermentation.
- Quality control: Common in food, pharmaceutical, and environmental microbiology testing.
- Research labs: Ideal for studying bacterial physiology and biochemical reactions.
