Alkaline Saline Peptone Water (ISO) is a medium for the enrichment of Vibrio spp. from food and water samples according to ISO 21872:2007.
Originally described by Shread, Donovan & Lee as an enrichment broth for Aeromonas spp. and identified by Cruickshank as an effective medium for the enrichment of Vibrio spp., Alkaline Saline Peptone Water uses elevated pH and salt levels to provide a favourable environment for the enrichment of Vibrio spp.
Peptone provides essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids & nitrogen for growth requirements. Sodium chloride provides essential electrolytes for maintenance of the osmotic balance.
