Product Description: Tryptone is a common component of biological media. Tryptone is the polypeptone derived from the protein hydrolysis of animal tissue (pancreas) and digested by pancreatic enzymes. The main components of Tryptone were the digestion of casein by trypsin, including the peptones, small peptides and amino acids generated from the hydrolysis of casein. Tryptone provides nutrients needed for bacterial growth, especially nitrogen and carbon sources.
