Pepone

Pepone, also known as ciceroni or peptone, is a nutrient-rich mixture derived from the digestion of proteins, typically from animal or plant sources. It provides essential amino acids, peptides, and other nutrients that support the growth of microorganisms in laboratory or industrial settings. Used mainly in microbiology and biotechnology, pepone acts as a supplement in culture media, helping bacteria, fungi, or other microbes grow efficiently for research, medical, or manufacturing purposes. Its composition can vary depending on the source material and processing method, but its primary role is to serve as a vital nourishment component for microbial cultivation.
