Peptone Water

Peptone Water is used as all purpose growth medium and as a base for carbohydrate fermentation medium

Composition**

Ingredients Gms / Litre
Peptic digest of animal tissue 20.000
Sodium chloride 5.000
Final pH (at 25°C) 7.4±0.2

Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters

Directions

Suspend 25 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Dispense in tubes and sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs. pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes.

Principle And Interpretation

Peptone Water is recommended by BIS (1) for detection of Indole production by Escherichia coli. A slightly different formulation of Peptone water/ Peptone water with phenol red is recommended (2,3,4) for studying the ability of organisms to ferment a specific carbohydrate which aids in differentiation of genera and species. Peptone water with phenol red is recently recommended by ISO committee (5) to study fermentation reactions of Yersinia entrocolitica. Peptone water with pH adjusted to 8.4 is suitable for the cultivation and enrichment of Vibrio species.

Peptic digest of animal tissue provides essential nutrients. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic balance. To detect indole production add 0.5 ml of Kovacs reagent to the tube and shake the tube gently. Appearance of a red colour indicates presence of indole.
