Widely used in microbiology and biotechnology for cultivating a broad range of microorganisms, especially bacteria and yeast. Supports robust growth due to its rich content of peptides, amino acids, and nitrogenous compounds derived from enzymatic digestion of proteins and yeast extract. Commonly used in laboratories for routine culture, maintenance, and propagation of bacterial strains such as Escherichia coli and other enteric bacteria. Frequently serves as a base medium for the preparation of more specialized growth media, including broth cultures for plasmid isolation, protein expression, and seed cultures in fermentation processes. Its balanced nutrient profile makes it ideal for high-density cell growth and is often chosen for industrial-scale microbial production of enzymes, antibiotics, and recombinant proteins.
