Bacteriological Gelatin is used for the preparation of microbiological culture media (generally incorporated in media at 3-5%). In addition to providing nutrients for bacterial growth, it is used to investigate the presence of proteolytic microorganisms, as evidenced by the liquefaction of gelatin, especially in the bacteriological analysis of water. Also, it helps the culture medium to solidify.
