Streptomycin Sulfate Salt 25g
Streptomycin Sulfate Salt 25g is primarily used as an antibiotic to inhibit bacterial growth in cell culture applications, particularly to prevent contamination in cell lines by acting as a selective agent against bacteria, often used in conjunction with other antibiotics like penicillin; it’s commonly used in molecular biology research to study bacterial mechanisms of resistance to streptomycin as well.
Function: Acts as an antibiotic to suppress bacterial growth in cell cultures.
Mechanism of action: Interferes with bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the ribosome.
Applications:
Maintaining sterile cell cultures
Studying bacterial resistance mechanisms
Selective bacterial cultivation in microbiology research
