The formulation of the Soybean Casein-Digest medium contains a combination of casein and soy peptones supplying organic nitrogen, particularly amino acids and longer-chained peptides. The medium is supplemented with Lecithin and polysorbate 80 (Tween®) and pyruvate to inactivate potential residues of disinfectants on dry surfaces. .
