Overview
Yeast Peptone TF1800 is a yeast-derived peptone, used as a nitrogen and growth-factor source in culture media. Supplied by STBIO MEDIA with a COA for every batch; samples and specifications are available on request. This is the Halal-certified version.
Yeast peptone, yeast extract or yeast peptide: how to choose
All three come from yeast and are animal-free; they differ in molecular size and composition. Yeast extract is the water-soluble fraction after autolysis, highest in free amino acids, B vitamins and nucleotides, and is used to supply growth factors. Yeast peptone is mainly short and medium peptides with a steadier nitrogen release, suited to fermentations that need nitrogen over a long run. Yeast peptides are smaller still and taken up quickly. Fastidious organisms such as lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria usually get both: peptone for nitrogen, extract for growth factors. Grades within a range differ in total nitrogen, amino nitrogen ratio, nucleotides and clarity in solution; see the specification sheets.

Frequently asked questions
01Can yeast peptone replace beef or soy peptone?
In most fermentations it can replace them partly or fully, with the advantage of containing no animal components and no soy allergen, which suits Halal, vegetarian and animal-free formulations. Strains differ in their nitrogen preference, so trial 25%, 50% and 100% replacement and compare growth curves and product.
02How much yeast peptone should be added when a fermentation underperforms?
Start at 1 to 5 g per litre and adjust to the total nitrogen of the existing formulation. Yeast peptone is naturally rich in amino acids, B vitamins and nucleotides, so a small addition often fixes a slow start or a low cell count; too much can cause foaming and raise cost.
03How do I request a bulk quotation, and can you provide a COA?
Yes. This product is available in 500 g, 5 kg, 25 kg. Tell us your application and volume when requesting a quotation; we reply within one working day and can supply the COA, specification sheet, and technical data sheet.
