Tryptone is a pancreatic digest of casein that contains all amino acids found in casein as well as peptide fractions. It is an excellent nutrient for use in culture media for producing biological products like antibiotics, toxins, and enzymes.

It supports satisfactory growth in peptone agar and passes microbiological tests for standard plate count, yeasts and molds, coliforms, and salmonella.
