Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The reason behind whyammonia should not be explained from the peptone broth tubes.
Introduction:
Peptone is a water-soluble protein, which is obtained during digestion and is commonly used in nutrient media for growing bacteria. Partially broken down proteins make peptones, which takes place either by acid or by the enzyme. Peptones are rich in amino acids, which are used as a source of nitrogen and carbon. Peptone broth tube is a medium rich in nutrients for the growth of microbes.
