| Application: | Kanamycin sulfate is used as an additive in culture media for the isolation of group D streptococci on Kanamycin Esculin Azide Agar and for selection of transformed plant cells containing the neomycin phosphotransferase on a kanamycin-medium. Kanamycin sulfate can also be used as a selection agent for cells transformed with kanamycin B resistance gene. It is recommended for use in cell culture applications at 100 μg/mL. Kanamycin sulfate from Streptomyces kanamyceticus has been used:• in the research of bacterial antibiotic resistance • in the research on the effect of different antibiotics on bud regeneration |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Mode of Action: The product acts by binding to the 70S ribosomal subunit, inhibiting translocation and eliciting miscoding. Mode of Resistance:Aminoglycoside Antimicrobial spectrum: Kanamycin sulfate is effective against gram-negative and gram-postiive bacteria, and mycoplasma. |
| Features and Benefits: | High quality antibiotic suitable for mulitple research applications |
