CAS 91079-38-8 Bovine bone peptone
Overview
Bovine Bone Peptone (bone-derived collagen/gelatin hydrolysate) is a high-quality nitrogen source for microbiology and fermentation, produced by controlled enzymatic digestion of edible bovine bone collagen/ossein to yield a balanced profile of short peptides, free amino acids (high FAN), minerals, and growth factors that support robust proliferation of a wide range of microorganisms.
Product Description
CAS 91079-38-8 Bovine bone peptone
Bovine Bone Peptone: Enzymatically hydrolyzed bovine collagen/gelatin providing a balanced mix of short-chain peptides and free amino acids (high FAN) with minerals/growth factors for robust growth of Gram-positive/negative bacteria, yeasts, and molds; highly water-soluble, low fat/ash for clear broths and consistent performance; autoclave-stable in standard media cycles;
