Application

Tryptone water is primarily used for the cultivation and maintenance of fastidious aerobic and facultative microorganisms such as Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas species.

A liquid medium for the detection of indole-forming microorganisms due to its high content of tryptophan, it is more reliable than peptone water for this purpose.
