Sugars and amino acids are used by bacteria as sources of energy, carbon, and nitrogen. The carbon/nitrogen ratio (C/N ratio) of the culture medium is one of the important factors to support proliferation of bacteria.
Amino acids are often used as source of nitrogen and Glycine is a very effective ingredient for controlling the C/N ratio.
Glycine is soluble in water, and it's chelating action improves the solubility of metal ions. |
