Principle And Interpretation
Nutrient media are basic culture media used for maintaining microorganisms (1), for purity checking prior to biochemical or serological testing. The Peptone special, incorporated in this broth is an enzymatic protein digest of animal tissue especially adapted for the preparation of media for culturing fastidious bacteria. The peptone and yeast extract provides nitrogenous compounds, carbon, sulphur, trace ingredients. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic equilibrium.
Addition of different biological fluids such as horse or sheep blood, serum, egg yolk etc. makes it suitable for the cultivation of related fastidious organisms (2).
