Details

Mycological Peptone is a mixture of animal and plant peptones required for obtaining luxuriant growth of fungi-yeasts and moulds. It is equivalent to Peptone M. It is recommended in culture media for isolation and diagnosis of pathogenic and non pathogenic fungi and identification of saprophytic and dermatophytic fungi-yeasts and moulds. It is light yellow in colour and does not mask the appearance of media containing dyes and indicators. When dissolved in distilled water it produces light yellow coloured solution that remains clear even after autoclaving. It is also compatible with other media constituents and will not precipitate in media. 1.0% w/v solution of it, provides a broad spectrum of amino acids required for mycelial growth and sporulation.It is equivalent to Peptone M.
