Peptone from yeast is nonmammalian peptone and is completely free from any harmful substances that may lead to disorder such as TSE/BSE which is caused due to infectious protein.
Description: It is derived from Autolysis (Process) of Brewers Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) further purified to produce free flowing spray dried powder with characteristic proteinous odour.
Application:Source of organic nitrogen recommended in Culture Media for Analytical microbiology, Diagnostics, Laboratory Reagent and Industrial fermentation.
