The formulation contains a combination of casein and soy peptones supplying organic nitrogen, particularly amino acids and longer-chained peptides. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic equilibrium. The medium is also supplemented with high amounts of neutralizers such as lecithin, polysorbate (Tween(R)) 80, histidine, and Cysteine to inactivate disinfectants or preservatives.
