Streptomycin sulfate,cell culture reagent, 5 g

Streptomycin Sulfate is an aminoglucoside antibiotic in which streptidine is linked glycosidically to the disaccharide streptobiosamine. It is most active in a slightly alkaline medium. Inhibits initiation and causes misreading of rRNA in protein synthesis. Effective against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. About one-third of streptomycin in the circulation is bound to plasma proteins. About 30-90% of a dose is excreted unchanged in the urine in 24 hours. Application Notes Streptomycin, in combination with penicillin, is used in a standard antibiotic cocktail to prevent bacterial infection in cell culture. Streptomycin also is used as a pesticide, to combat the growth of bacteria, fungi, and algae. Streptomycin controls bacterial and fungal diseases of certain fruit, vegetables, seed, and ornamental crops, and it controls algae in ornamental ponds and aquaria.
