Fish Peptone for Microbiology Fermentation

Fish protein hydrolysate is obtained by hydrolysis of fresh fish meal/fish paste with non-gmo/natural enzymes and resulted in rich amino acids profile and high diversified concentrate of peptides.

It is excellent source of high quality nitrogen for a wide variety of microorganisms in industrial fermentation.

It favors the growth of a wide variety of microorganisms. In industrial fermentation media, fish peptone is suited for the growth of Lactobacillus, Escherichia, yeast etc.

It is non-mammalian peptone, used as a nitrogen source in microbiological culture media. It is a non-bovine origin peptone, free of TSE/BSE risk.

Industrial fish peptone was an excellent substrate for biomass production in solid and submerged fermentations. The max growth rates of several microorganisms were two to three times higher than those grown on beef (bacto)peptones and the final biomass concentrations were almost twice as great as those grown on beef peptones. Fish peptones did not increase the production of secondary metabolites relative to those produced on beef peptones in non-optimized media. Fish peptone has promising potential as a substrate for biomass production.
