Principle And Interpretation
Soyabean Casein Digest Medium is recommended by various pharmacopeias as a sterility testing and as a microbial limit testing medium (1, 2, 3). This medium is a highly nutritious medium used for cultivation of a wide variety of organisms (4).
The combination of pancreatic digest of casein and papaic digest of soyabean meal makes the medium nutritious by providing amino acids and long chain peptides for the growth of microorganisms. Dextrose and dibasic potassium phosphate serve as the carbohydrate source and the buffer, respectively in the medium. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic balance of the medium.
